I take a certain pleasure
As you begin to measure
Freedom and the room
To flourish and to bloom.
All the wonder you will find
After all this time confined
To a world based in fear
Please touch what is near
And taste a life so dear
That each day you awake,
Each lesson you partake,
Will bring you to a place
Where you see a face and
The love that’s in my eyes
That I no longer can disguise
Wants to simply see you smile
As you start, and then compile
All the reasons that you know,
All the ways in which you grow.
I will wait with my embrace
As I gently touch your face
As you take a certain pleasure
And you begin to measure
A life you will now treasure
Each day. Every day.
