If You Were Here - Poe

If you were here

I know that you would

Truly be amazed

At what’s become of what you made

If you were here

You would know how I treasured every day

How every single word you spoke

Echo’s in me like a memory of hope

When you were here

You could not feel the value that I placed

One every look that crossed your face

When you were here

I did not know just how I had embraced

All that you hid behind your face

Could not hide from me

'Cause it hid in me too

Father:

Hello tiger, it’s fun, talking with you.

like this--in fact I’m going to do it

more often

Now that I’m here I hear you and wonder if maybe you can hear yourself

Ringing in me now that your somewhere else.

Father:

I miss you a lot

'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true

Father:

But I’m so proud of everything you do there

Singing inside me with the best parts of you

Father:

Next time I see you you’ll proudly sing it back to me Now that I’m here

I love you…

Daughter:

It’s okay you can go now
