I fear,
                   That the moon holds more beauty
                    and truth than I could show you,
               And can shine a silver nightlight to guide you
                               Better than I can.

I'm afraid,
          Maybe the sun will provide better for you than I could.
                A fierier lover, or a sweet, warm comfort,
                         More comforting than I am.
                
I worry,
                   Perhaps the ocean is far more exciting
                       and exotic than I could handle.
          Ready to engulf you in mystery and drown you in adventure,
                         Much more thrilling than I.

I cry,
          For the stars are far brighter than I could ever hope to be.
                       Lovely little beacons of light
              that hold insight of the future and the past
                      Smarter equals for you than I am.

I mourn,
           Over the winds that bring you freedom I could not.
                      Their speeds are unlimited,
                  bringing you to delightful heights
                            Higher than I could.

I weep,
                           Inside the soul I drag,
          because I dream things for you I could never accomplish.
                        Instead I hope that one day
               your beauty will find the need to stay grounded
                   Supported by me; I could be a solid rock
for you.
I hope you look behind the rhymes,
and find a motive that inspires.
I hope you search between the lines,
and find the message you desire.

I encourage you to tell me your thoughts;
don't be shy, your commmentary means a lot.
