Darkness Doesn't Frighten Me

Dedicated to my beloved mother

As I sit alone in the darkness, I do not feel fear
Knowing, that like always, you are always near
I feel your presence strongly, ma, and know I’m not alone
Feel you in my heart, and know I’m not on my own
Darkness doesn’t frighten me, just leaves me feeling blue
Until lightness comes again to remind me of you
You were, and still are, the stars in my night sky
The sparkle everyone saw when they looked into my eyes
I didn’t really lose you, ma, because you’re always on my mind
The laughs, love, and the memories were never left behind
To me, the eyes are the mirror to one’s soul
If you look into mine, you’ll always know I won’t let go
Darkness doesn’t frighten me like losing you did
I see your light shine upon me, therefore my world is always lit
I’m lost without you, ma, but our love burns eternally
Look into my eyes and heart, for there you’ll always be
