Close your eyes
Hold ‘em tight
Cause I’ve got you in my prayers tonight.
I know you’re lost
And I know you’re scared
But don’t you worry
The end is near
Whisper your mind, to me my dear
Tell me your secrets
And I’ll you show you mine
No need to share em
In the cool day’s light
OH
And hold me tight
And whisper my dear
Your deepest thoughts
Cause the end is near
OH
let it go
And watch the stars fall tonight baby
Cause I’ll be holding you tight
And it’ll be alright
No one said this life was easy
So hold onto your faith and maybe
You’ll survive
Hmm…
Your life will go on and on and on
If you act like the end is near tonight

This poem has a spectacular ring of a lullaby or a hushed song, the rhyming is sweet and soothing and seems to bring comfort as you read it. I've read another of your poems not too long ago, and I'm starting to see the patterns in how you write and the rhyming in your style. I'm very much enjoying it, and I hope I come across more of them.

I especially love this piece because though at first it really does feel like the world is coming to an end the realization at the end that it is all a matter of acting as if it were makes it all the more real and brings forth your hopes and how you want to view this life. 

Thank you so much for sending this in.
Rebecca
