I saw you fall asleep last night, and I longed
to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon
your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to
rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts
for you.

You awakened late and rushed off for the day--my
tears were in the rain. Today you look so sad, so
alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand.
My friends let me down and hurt me many times, too,
but I love you. I try to tell you in the quiet green
grass. I whisper it in the leaves and the trees, and
give it in the color of the flowers. I shout it to
you in the mountain streams, and give the birds love
songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and
perfume the air. My love for you is deeper than
the oceans, and bigger than the biggest want or need
you have.
