So CloseA wisp of wind caresses your cheek on a tranquil day
So close is your baby's breath.
The twinkling of a star on a cloud covered night
So close your baby watches over you.
Your hand is touched but nothing is there
So close your baby reaches out to you.
To hear a soft murmur when all is still
So close is your baby's voice.
Raindrops lick your face on a clear sunny day
So close are your baby's kisses.
You glimpse a flash of color
So close is your baby.
You sense your baby's presence
So Close.
