Close your eyes
Imagine a world—
Where only dreams are found
To it, we are bound
Passing through heaven—
Along the way

The sun on our face
Warming our smiles—
Leaving our past behind
To it, we are blind
Dreaming of tomorrow—
But caught up in today

The love in our hearts
We will bring only this—
To where time stands still
Allowing our hope to refill
Our future’s in sight—
 The past we will betray

Now open your eyes
A dream it’s no longer—
It’s here we’ve arrived—
Allowing us to be so alive
I will be good to you—
 Forever and a day

(Written for the painting titled ‘I Will Be Good To You’)
