Shall I begin to speak to you today?
You look sad and alone and very meek,
I have not heard your laughter this whole week
It seems you think you’ll never be okay.
Why do you hide what you wish to allay?
Be not afraid of you I will critique,
I’d never think you’d fear you will misspeak
I wish to lift your heart from its dismay.
I see you and already I can tell
You wish to speak your mind but don’t know how,
You open up your mouth and say the words
Your tale runs through my mind clear as a bell,
Your life makes sense to me as it is now
I sit amazed and ponder what I heard.
