If only I can embrace you
and keep you from the harms of this world…
if only my arms would be enough
to protect you from the blinding influences…
If only I can make things right
and shield you from the wrongs……
and the pain and that the years…
But I can’t… I’m just as human as you are
that’s why I’m here standing strong today
because I faced up to the battle
and came wounded but unscathed…
But I’ll be around, each time you hit the ground
in each why’s and how-could-it-be’s
I’ll shade of tree.
If only I have the power
to exempt you from every despair
and every anguish and every truth…
but then you’ll miss out on the virtues
and the depth and the courage
which are all but by-products of each fall the rise from…
Yes I’ll be around each time you graze the ground
to say… I love you… still and always.
