There is a gift I wish I could give,
The gift to be me,
If only for a day,
Then maybe you would see.
You'd see the world as I do,
The wonder and connections you miss,
The bird flapping in the distance,
The breath before a kiss,
You see the world as is,
Whilst I have childlike wonder,
I see as it could be,
If only I could share what you miss,
You wonder where my thoughts are,
To be honest so do I,
Like a dream I've just woke from,
They disappear into a mist,
You think about the impact,
Of your words, your laugh, your presence
The anxiety it holds you
To serve an unjust penance
I see the impact though,
The people who think on your words,
The people who love your laugh,
The difference here is key though,
You think, I don't,
I know the light you cast.
But this is certain,
I swear it's true,
If you could see as I do,
You'd see how I see you
With sight like that,
You'd see your embarrassment,
Not as such,
But instead, you'd see the truth.
