For Charlie

By Jene StonePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I did not need to travel far

To deep and distant lands

To find myself because you are

Held safe within my hands

*

Some seek false prophets, magi, seers

They would see in their souls

But I found myself in you, my dear

You who made me whole

*

I wished I was not me, you see

For just the longest time

Would be just anyone but me

Would leave myself behind

*

But when you came you showed me ME

All that I could become

All that I was, all that I'd been

The truth of what I am

*

I did not need to travel far

I found myself so close

I found myself in you, my child

The one I love the most
