I hear them calling

I was reading Penny‘s blog post “Can You Hear Me” this morning, and as I was reading it, I got such inspiration that I just HAD to write it down.

I hear them calling, like it is a game
I hear them calling, like they are calling from tar
I hear them calling, they are calling my name
I hear them calling, calling from afar

I hear them calling, calling in tears
I hear them calling, trying to make me grieve
I hear them calling, from way across the years
I hear them calling, playing make-believe

I hear them calling, from across time and space
I hear them calling, some from beyond the grave
I hear them calling, from a distant place
I hear them calling, telling me to be brave

I hear them calling, as the daylight wanes
I hear them calling, sounds coming between the trees
I hear them calling, saying to ignore the pains
I hear them calling, they are all my memories
