I didn’t see

\nI didn’t see the World before I saw it with your eyes,
\nI couldn’t understand before you spoke.
\nThe thoughts that I was writing were an eiderdown of lies,
\nI touched your words and suddenly awoke.
\nYou showed me other answers, other questions, other views,
\nThe insight that you gave me is the pen that I still use.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned so much from others, everybody that I meet,
\nThe friends I love to talk to, and a stranger on the street;
\nBut only when I read you did the rest of life make sense,
\nI thought I’d travelled widely till you took away the fence.<\/p>\n
And now that you have shown me I can see what I don’t know,
\nIt’s better when there’s more you need to learn.
\nIf you will walk beside me there’s so far that we could go,
\nThrough your life and through my life turn by turn.
\nWe’d find some new solutions, new conundrums, novel dreams,
\nOur pens could join together making poetry in streams.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned so much from others everybody I have known,
\nThe friends I love to talk to, or the Moon when I’m alone;
\nBut only when I read you did I see the universe,
\nI thought I knew the music, now I’ve started to rehearse.<\/p>\n
So much to find, so much to love, so much to understand,
\nAnd you’ll be there to find it all with me.
\nExploring all the journeys that nobody else has planned
\nAnd turning all we see to poetry.
\nYou’ve given me a vision and a goal before I die,
\nI know I can’t achieve it, but I know I’m going to try!<\/p>\n
