My Child, I Love You Close By

From far I love Peace and joy and the wisdom of time
but you, my child, I love you close by

I love you close by and all that you are
from far I love oceans, the moon and the stars

Close by I love knowing you well and your name
close by I love knowing your never the same

Close by I love your smile, your talents and even your fears
that you share with me sometimes through laughter and tears

Close by I love all that you say and you think
I love that I know all you need is a wink

Close by I love that I see you and get your ideas
I love that I watch when you play and your near

From far I love thunder, the wind and the rain
from far I can love what comes forth after the pain

I love from a far sweet fruit in the dirt
close by I love that I hold you close when you hurt

From far I can love the things nobody knows
like angels and heaven and even the cold

From far I can love all that you feel
close by I can sit with you during and after you heal

From far I love peace and nothing with war
close by I love the values we rise up and fight for

From far I love human encounters and meet ups
close by I love long deep and meaningful talks

From far I love concepts, ideas and all dreams
close by I love getting your emojis and memes

From far I love leaders and many good teachers
close by I love hearing the prayers of our preachers

From far I love contemplating the human condition
close by I love living my purpose and mission

From far I want peace in the air land and sea
CLOSE BY I WANT ONLY FOR YOU TO BE FREE.
