You and Me
A smile when I see you
is a lifting moment
worth all tribulation
Without change, without shock, always
bringing up from down
steady from shaking
Sunny from the storm
Accepting from the accusation,
whenever the need surfaces
I must thank you
my hope in the heat,
rock in the sea,
and constant, everlasting star.
How I can I know you
from a thousand?
I see through crowds.
How can you know me
from a million?
You don’t.
You never will.
It’s accepted.
What on earth could I say?
NOTHING truly NOTHING
could tell
What you really are
(which is)
What you are
to me
is you.
