She Thinks That She Is Only Silver

She thinks that she is only silver.

Second place, forever and again.

But this girl ... she is so, so much more.

She is my dear, dearest friend.

 

Her soul, while brighter than the sun,

is tortured by confusion and things in her past ...

lofty goals that would thwart even the toughest

and a lifestyle going so fast.

 

Courageous ... and meek.

A warrior ... and a flower ... all at the same time.

Legions of followers, those who look up ... never to see,

the little girl who roams in her mind.

 

She will get were she is aiming ...

my heart believes in her so.

She is strong, stubborn ... so very brave,

and this child inside her grows.

 

Now distant, I'll still watch her life

unfold

 

from this abyss, for reasons that may forever remain

untold.

 

She is far more valuable than any silver, precious gems ...

yes, even gold.

 

No object d'art or more costly antiquity ...

has ever,

ever been sold.

 

I only wish that I could have somehow ...

somehow

made her see ...

that as my friend ... she was so, so much more ...

than merely silver to me.

What can ya do ... What can ya say ... when someone just doesn't "get it"?
