I am aware
of what you say of me
I know the
same things every day
I hope that
one day you will see
That you and
me think the same way.
It takes one
to know one
And I know
because I've been there too
It doesn't
make a difference only because
I have felt
the same things you do too.
For some
reason I can't explain
I feel what
you feel
And I feel
too your pain
I chalk it
up to some psychic power
But it gives
me nothing to wield
Except the
weight of knowing
Your truth
revealed.
I wish you
could just give up
And know I
adore you
And that you
have finally grown up
And I have
to help you.
To make you
be all,
Be all you
can be.
To have
control and make a difference
And know
with you,
you hold the
key.
To know the
way of the world,
And men and
women and all their intents.
And keep
your own flag unfurled
And your
fortunes unspent.
Because you
are my child
and carry my
love
And all that
I have taught you,
Even when
push has come to shove.
You are my
greatest hope
And I can't
control you.
Even if you
were bound by rope,
Good Lord
ropes would not hold you.
I hope from
me you learn the truth,
The truth
about yourself.
That deep
down inside is something.
There lies
something more, a stubborn thing,
A thing you
can't ignore.
And great
things to this world
you will
have the power to bring.
Whatever you
call it
Or, from
whomever you give credit for inheriting,
You are glad
it's there
To pry, to
whisper, and keep you aware.
That,
despite yourself and how you feel,
you must
keep on going and give your all.
At least
that's what I hope and pray,
and that's
all I have been doing
since you
were very small.
