24 as old as one less than me
smile on your face genuinely happy
da you anticipate this all year long
in winter raining outside do you
look above the T.v. through the window
past the city grey and land here
next to us and your family
talking next to the pool as you paddle
life so easy, is it for you
we all bruise
how do you express yours
sometimes I write or shout
take it out in some sport
spray it on a wall or canvas
is it easier to forget
where’s your pride
what’s your brain child
I love to write
would you understand if I ask
if together in the evening we watch
the red lava molten slowly flowing
would you bask at natures might
or are you looking at the red line at night
what’s going on in your mind a mystery
you took my hand this morning gentle
and you take my heart every time I look
I think we all want to be a bit more like you
and you might want to be more like me
I can rest your mind assured
life is hard either way
what memories do you hold dear
I ask in eagerness and true
we are similar in trust blind
are people always good to you
or do they stare
do you notice the cruelness around you
or is life simply beautiful
I would cry a million tears for every one of those years
Although not a penny would change
im sure its tougher on your brother and sister
such a treasure as you
a diamond
do they feel semi-precious next to you
I apologise I forgot you name
as your parents get older
whats going to happen
would you live without them
how would you take the loss
how would it come across
shed tears of sorrow
but tomorrow the day after
would you shed again
mourn them
would al Yag be part of your memories
of happy times in the sun
would you return without them
would you want to return
sorry for the burden I imply
carry on live life smile
and ill smile back
not jealous, cruel or curious
just happy
a little like you..
