This Love Of Mine

Written for a distant loved one, my child Jessilyn. A poem about life and love.
Let me take you on a trip to the moon with me
Maybe we can fly
Sometimes you've gotta open your eyes to relieve
The trouble in mind
Maybe if you look into mine
The strength you might find
To hold on to this love of mine.

Let me take you on a run to the sun with me
Or maybe we could hide
Sometimes you've gotta open your heart to believe
With every reason is rhyme
If you look into mine
The answer you might find
Is to hold on to this love of mine.

Let me take you to a different time with me
Maybe we could rewind
Sometimes you've gotta cover your eyes to see
Through a different light.
Maybe if you look into mine
The missing piece you'll find
And hold on to this love of mine.

Let me take you on a walk through the truth with me
Forget the reasons why
Everything that happens is meant to be
Another lesson in life
If you open your mind Destiny you'll find
Say you'll hold on to this love of mine.

Let me take you to the tip of my mind with me
Where it will always be
Of all the things that ever meant anything to me
It was a Jessilyn Jade
If you read between the lines your love for me will find
The will to hold onto this love of mine.
