I Weep Not

Your body has grown frail, yet unchanged is your soul
I cannot feel any of the ailes that in detail you have told
I hold plenty of my own, yet they differ gradually in tone
I weep not despite the reasons that you readily stated
I see not one season where your legacy is tainted
Fight demons whether or not it is steadily raining
While I sit complacent, through your trials and tribulations
I weep not, for this pain of yours, I was chosen to see it
Yet I fret just like the rest, I have moments of weakness
One day it will come, I sense the flows of the streams and
Even then, my perception of you won't go off the deep end
I weep not, but I cannot visualize how I will feel when I do
You gave me the gift of life so this I write, revealing the truth
Along with the freedom to speak on my feelings and views
When it comes to reaching your peak, the ceiling is huge
I weep not, but when you go just know thy cells split anew
As your spirit breaks out of its confines, I see myself in you
