As I Close My Eyes

I lie my head upon my pillow

I think of this imaginary fellow

I have faith he is coming my way

Unbecoming thoughts I need to keep at bay

It is so easy to feel not good enough

My looks compared to society is tough

Because inner beauty no longer means much

Nobody understands a compassionate touch

Clothes more expensive than our rent

I think people have become a litte bent

No longer does the world shoot from the heart

We worry more what is on the wall for art

Children being taught so young to model

Plastic parents those we do need to throttle

We are teaching beauty is only skin deep

Pop a few more pills it will help you be sleek

My fellow he will stop inside and see

The difference between them and me

That nothing else in this life will matter

Nor in this world will he ever feel battered

He will forever know I am a gift from above

I will wash his feet in the purest love

My man will know my heart can never be sold

He seeks with me a true passion to unfold

Spirit sought this soul to mirror only mine

Knowing our unity in this heaven will be divine

Reflections of love within our beautiful eyes

Our souls are bare no need to be in disguise

He knows I will never think to close the door

It will not matter whether we are rich or poor

There is no better place for him to be

Than coming home to be with me

So as I close my eyes to go to sleep

I send him the sweetest dreams to keep

Until he is once again within my arms

Flames from our fire setting off the alarms

So I may never be a pretty barbie doll

Nor do I love to go shopping at the mall

But I see the beauty in the smallest things

Angels gave unto me the truest music to sing

For my words will only be spoken to the one

Who is willing to live in the warmth of my sun
