If I get lost

If I get lost 

If I get lost, please remind me;

To open my eyes, 

To see the world around me.

To open my heart,

And remember my loved ones;

That I am loved, and have love.

To open my mind,

To not shy away from the darkness;

The gnawing, scraping, hurting, darkness.

Remind me of sharing and caring;

I may be scared, but I am not alone.

Remind me of yesterday, of happiness,

Love, joy, the courage to love another.

Remind me that though the terrible is frightening,

It’s in the past, and not who I am.

Have me lower my hands from eyes,

To see the others that share my light;

The light that spreads into the deepest depths, 

The darkness, the monsters, the evil.

Remind me that I have a path, I have a journey,

And I have the strength, determination to take those steps.

Remind me if I get lost, or if I stray the path

That I was never truly lost, just a little mislead. 

Open my eyes, open my heart, open my mind;

Lower my hands from covered eyes, 

Touch my heart with yours, 

And question why, why I am not being true to me.

Remind me of the love and loved ones,

Remind me to climb the mountain, to spread my wings and be free!
