I was watching you sleep the other
Day,
And prayed that it would last.
The peace that rested on your face,
I'd never seen in the past.
*
I was watching you speak a while ago,
And hoped that you'd go on.
The way your words, they had no end,
Your spirit seemed so strong.
*
I was watching you fight the other day,
And prayed my tears would dry.
All this, I knew was done for me,
And couldn't figure why.
*
I was watching you smile a while ago,
And stared in total awe.
Was it me who made you shine?
Was that triumph that I saw?
*
And all this time you've waited,
And all this time you've helped.
And all things you sacrificed,
For me to grow up well.
*
And all the tears you dried,
And all the pain you soothed.
And all the truths you had to hide,
Without a simple thank-you.
*
But I was watching you the other
Day,
And I realized I can't wait.
To tell you how much I appreciate,
And love you in every way.
