I look at you
through this small window.
You stand one among many
yet you seem so alone.
I wish I could stand beside you.
I watch you with wonder
when the storms come
and the wind pushes you
this way and that.
I wish I could shelter you.
I am in awe
when the sun shines on your face
I see a smile
in the twinkle of your eye.
I wish I could hold you.
I see the sun go down
you hang your head
and the twinkle seems to fade
from the apple of your eye.
Still you are my beautiful flower.
