If the world could see you
The way that I do,
They would love you
and cherish you
Just as I do.
They would treat you
Without judgment,
And see all the reasons why-
You hold such a special place
In my heart,
And are the apple of my eye.
If the world took the time
To get to know you,
And the small joys
That make you smile,
They would go out of their way
To drop by and play for a while.
If the world could sit down
And listen to your heart,
And why you feel
All the ways you do.
They would be less quick to judge,
And more understanding
And compassionate towards you
And everything you do.
If the world could witness
Your hidden talents, humor,
Silliness, kind heart,
Inquisitive mind, and creativity-
They would honor you
And support you-
Without any hesitation.
Positively!
But even IF
The world could see you,
Know you, and understand you
In all the incredible ways like I do,
There is NO WAY, on this earth,
They could ever come close,
To loving you just as much
As I do!
