I SEE YOU

I SEE YOU

 

I see a baby boy,

crying his heart out;

seeking attention.

 

I see a little boy,

getting jealous of his

new brother.

 

I see a little boy,

passionate about video games,

playing all day, all night,

forgetting about food or water.

 

I see a young boy,

taking the same passion,

transferring it to music.

 

I see a young boy,

learning many things through music –

the beauty of travel; the art of writing; life

 

I see a young boy,

falling in love,

giving everything he can to her.

 

I see a young boy,

questioning this love,

wondering if it’s the right thing for him.

 

I see a young man,

having the courage to have faith in this love;

even when the light at the end of the tunnel is fading;

even when the fire in his heart is nearly dying;

even when this mind says no.

 

I see a young man,

finally coming out of the tunnel,

with a smile on his face,

and his love holding his hand,

proud of the man he has become.

 

I see a man,

falling in love all over again with

the beauty of travel, the art of writing, life.

 

I see a man,

sharing his experiences,

giving everything he can to

his loves.

 

I see a family

with smiles on their faces.

I see a family

with fire burning in their heart.

I see a family

with light in their eyes.

 

I see you-

the boy you were;

the young man you are;

the man you will be.
