One day

One day

In the quiet hours of the night,
And the lonely hours of the day,
Close your eyes, reach for me,
And I`ll be there.

In your heart and in your mind,
then one day you will find,
Reach for me, in your life,
And I`ll be there.

Just before the light is breaking,
In the stillness of the dawn,
As your mind is yet awaking,
To this time as yet unborn.

As your beating heart is steady,
Still resting slow and still,
As yet your mind still ready,
As yet your mind to fill.

Let memories enfold you,
When love was yours to take,
As here within tranquility,
These memories you make,

And these are yours for making,
Forever in your mind,
This promise you are making,
Look back and you will find.

In the quiet hours of the day,
And the lonely hours of the night,
Close your eyes, reach for me,
And I`ll be there.

In your heart and in your mind,
Then one day you will find,
Reach for me, – in your life,
And I`ll be there.

Mick.

About the author

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
