Analysis of Her Arms
Darrell Hancock 1980 (North Carolina)
Before closing your eyes, look to the sky.
From here to the moon and stars,
I'll always be in your arms.
Always know, rain or snow.
Hell or high water, I'll always be your partner.

About this poem
When you close your eyes, your imagination flies. Be who you want, where you want, with who you want! Nothing is impossible with your imagination. You can see so clear with your eyes shut if you know what your wanting to see.
