I'm glad my words can bring to you some joy
And find a place within your heart. Yet I
Wish to lift you, not to quiet destroy,
But to know heart's desire, and look in eye.
I do not ask who is to blame, but seek
To see what I might of your soul. I care
Enough to want to hold, but cannot speak
Of what we might in future meeting share.
I cannot alter others' actions, yet
I wish faint friends did not control your heart.
I understand that pain: But can you let
My words have equal weight, that hope might start?
I ask, not to own soul, but just to know
Your heart, that I might some of these dreams show.
