Give me one
in whose eyes my future is engraved.
What’s in a charming eye today
if it leaves my tomorrow muddy?
Give me one
through whose voice my peace is restored.
What’s in a voice like a sparrow’s
if it steals my sleep away?
Give me one
on whose shoulder my tears find solace.
What’s in a spot free shoulder
if I can ne’er e’er lean on it?
Give me one
in whose silence my heart gets an earful.
What’s in an all-day conversation
if it’s filled with nothingness?
Give me one
whose simple being embodies perfection;
a reason to see the morrow’s light,
and a fortress of peace and comfort.
