My lids slowly rise
I look at the lives
The lives I have ignored
They have been before me
Shining brightly
Each one a star upon the tree
A lighthouse in a storm
A love offered freely
They never abandoned me
My winds blew them angrily
They stood their ground
Their selflessness an anchor
Their empathy a sweater
I've seen you before me
I've always seen you
I love you
Love you always
