Your beauty still astounds me
your prescence does demand
Royal essence cloaks you like a child
Yet spoke a seperate plan

I've never really known you
though side by side we grew
Desiring always for your love
and friendship deep and true

Confussion in my world abound
the pain tore through and through
Intimidated, suplicated,
Loving, fearing you

I saw you as a shinning star
I wished to be as you
Oh folly of my youth, my heart
That dreams my some day come true

For little could I know the key
too occupied to live
That all the things I want of you
were never mine to give

So inward did my search begin
no longer failure bound
Eternal seeking, wants aside
the answers I have found

That love and life and friends like you
are mine no need to ask
Giving you the truth in me
I thus complete the TASK....
