Walking toward you I smile, a shallow look
I see, why I feel that cold cold stare, was
it was caused by last night's walk, around the
the lake you worshiped so?

You never tell what's on your mind, I always
feel such distance when we are alone. you
carry the world upon your shoulders while
each day it seems to weigh a little more..

I see so much wisdom in your eyes so deep,
you've been around for a very long time, you've
always taught me something of value to
carry in my heart as I age gracefully.

I shall walk this world in glory, it's a world
of life and strife, it only shows what one
feels deep, when you gaze around the
starry skies.

Much is taught and read in books, it just
one look could never fit, the feeling one
has, standing on a mountain top, no
words to fill a single book, the beauty
that you see in just one glance.

I may see your shallow eyes, your heart
could never be, if you were born a million
years I know I'd know your name, it's in
each sunrise, sunset, rainbows of amazement
and how new and beautiful you'll always be
to those who capture the value of your sweet
whispering breeze.
