I was thinking I might die today

This a a song so I put in the inflections best I could LOL - but it could be a poem too

Open my eyes - Oh open my eyes to see my soul, pretty eyes oh save my dreams
reflection of my missing life
Open my eyes
yeah it could be but in my head it went something more like this
like in a Billie Holiday style voice

Oooopeeennnn My eeyes .....OOOoooooooh Oooopeeen my eeeyes

to seeeee miiiii soul

Prettty eeeeeeyess oh save my dreams
reflection of my missing life

Ooopen my eyes

i was thinking I might die today
that my words might kill a dream
that I could plant a seed and save a soul
I was thinking today
That tomorrow may never come and what things would still need to be done

I was dreaming today that my eyes would open wiiiiiide to see the heart of God
alone today
here today
be with me today

Happiness sometimes I cannot find

forehhhver he would dwell in me
JOY ( whispering aloud -softly to my soul) Joy ( even softer still) ... (louder now I smiling ear to ear) sing Forever - Forever in my life, your Myyyyyii God -

Oooopeeennnn My eeyes eeeead my soul
Fire and clay to mold me your way

Happiness sometimes is far away but Joy comes always in the morning always surrounding me is your love Forehhhever your Love

Ohhver,flowing
smiles and joy, comfort and song, dancing and praising )
sometimes tomorrow never comes and Happiness is far away but put your hand on my heart and feel the beats of love when all around is fading away find your strength in me and let this clay give you a Joy that will never end it overflows from His majesty

Your not dancing today - they look upon my face see a smile that cannot fade but still they say your not singing today and their eyes look away

I can hear in side their head say "see she does have sadness"

Little do they know Sadness is the Lords ....
strength
and it is here that He is most powerful .... It is here I am most vulnerable
It is there I stand warrior not fading child falling away

Oooopeeennnn My eeyes OOOoooooooh Oooopeeen my eeeyes

to seeeee miiiii soul

Prettty eeeeeeyess oh save my dreams
reflection of my missing life

Ooopen my eyes

i was thinking I might die today
that my words might kill a dream
That tomorrow may never come and what things would still need to be done

I was dreaming today that my eyes would open wide to see the heart of God
( softly)
alone
meditating forever alone in your maaajeeeesttttyyyyy
