Description There isn't a day that goes by
That a thought isn't dedicated to your smile,
And your laughter.
Knowing you all these years, I still know so little to nothing about you.
I feel I have only begun to scratch the surface,
Of what there is of you.

There isn't a moment that goes by,
That I don't wonder if you are smiling, laughing,
Or crying.
I feel fortunate to have gotten to know what I do know of you,
And yet somewhat empty that i do not know more.

There isn't a second that goes by
As you sing with the voice of a nightengale that I don't feel a swell of pride
For you.
Each note and tone filled with both fear and
A Longing to do more; be more.

There are too many possibilities
For you to stop now.
Because I can't stand to see you stop.
I can only stand in wonder
As I find out
What i know about you.

There aren't many times that go by
When I get to see the true you open up and say,
WHat it is that is in your heart.
But each time I do see a glimpse within
I feel a fear that I may not be worthy of it.

Fortunate to have you as a friend
And not a moment goes by when i don't thank what powers are
Within you
That, by some humble miracle, sees something within me
That I cannot.

There are too many possibilities
For you to stop now.
Because I can't stand to see you stop.
I can only wonder how you see things within me
as I find out
What I know about you!

Do not let the small things
Temp you off of the path that you have set for yourself.
Because the path you have not yet Chosen
has perhaps chosen you
And it will take every little bit of strength within you
to see it through.

Do not let others tell you
you cannot do a thing that they cannot do themselves.
And because you are what they do not expect
is exactly what sets you apart from those that say you are not capable.

And there are too many damn possibilities
within you for you to stop now.
I'll be damned if I stand to watch you slow down
Because I can only dream to be the person
I see in you as I continue the journey
Of finding out
What I know about you!
