Magical Powers
You used to think you could go away
by closing your eyes,
that if you couldn't see,
you couldn't be seen.
We let you believe it.
We would stand right next to you,
call your name through cupped hands,
wonder aloud when you'd come home
for dinner, then act surprised to see you
when you took your hands
from over your eyes.
We'd say, *Oh! There you are!*
And give you a big hug and you'd
be so pleased that you were able
to trick us with your magical powers.
Now I come to see you here,
your eyes are closed.
I hold your hand and whisper
over and over into your ear,
*Please come home, please come home*
and I believe with all my heart
that someday your eyes will open,
and you will come home
and surprise us again.
