Your smile, your face, and warming embrace

leaves me speechless and in awe.

Your give so much but take so little

Give me life yet leave me breathless, taken back by your true beauty.

Expect so much but get so little

Big dreams and even bigger nightmares, but you push on and persevere by holding tight to things so fragile but not near.

Your eyes are screaming but your mouth says nothing

Holding on and holding back,

back and forth to and fro

Sleepless nights and sleepless days

Wandering in a mindless state

Given clarity and wisdom

Forge ahead and save your souls

Spreading truth with power

Comb every inch and search every edge to find true purpose

Look but see

Read but understand

Talk but listen
