Vision
I look at you with longing eyes,
Wishing you could know
How much you've ever done for me,
How much I love you so.
I look at you with teary eyes,
Wishing you knew why
That all you've ever done for me
Is enough to make me cry.
I look at you with hopeful eyes,
Wishing you could see
That I just want to be someone to you
Because you've been everything to me.
I look at you with admiring eyes,
Wishing you could hear
The poems I dedicate to you--
I hold them very near.
I look at you with patient eyes,
Wishing you knew how
I wait for you to realize
You've shaped who I am now.
My eyes see many different things.
One of those things is you
And how you taught me to be diverse
And, to myself, be true.
