take me to those troubled seas
you have so gallantly sailed
those high-brick walls you alone have climbed
where others seem to have failed
show me how to create rainbows
pine trees and candy bars
landscapes of silver and gold
even diamonds that look like stars
teach me how to appreciate life
beauty and love
tell me about mermaids and faeries
or even angels up above
for how wise you truly are my fragile one
a lot can be learned from you
in your own little world you have become
an artist with a different point of view
how i wish i could understand
these wonderful things only you can see
but with eyes like mine it's as if i'm blind
and this is all that i can be
but you my child with your poetic soul
the universe that you'll create
will be filled with joy and laughter
and a million reasons to celebrate
