Closed eyes
I have loved you many times before
But now I love you with no eyes
I have loved you many ways before
And my prayers took on your guise
I have loved you many days before
To give you many lives
I have loved you in many crowds before
And in many times I thrived
I have loved you in many places before
To grow more loving with each of my tries
So when you look at me Great God
I know you won't deny
That tiny as my body is
It hurts to feel us cry
