Here I Am
Looking and noticing
All that is in my path
What does time change?
Even with repair
Things do wither
Yet, they still change
My younger self
Wishes to grow
While wishing to know
That I will see
The happiness and love
That made me laugh
And glow
And may what or who looks
Out at me, someday
Pick me up like I cried in hunger
Or writhed in my drench
Shelter me with just a smile
A while
To remind me
