Place of my Birth

Tell me everything that lives in your heart and mind
Fill me with your thoughts and your dreams
Let me see the beauty of the world through your eyes
Maybe then, I will understand why you are the way you are
When that far away look comes to visit
I will no longer feel neglected and invisible
I will know exactly where you are because for a moment,
I walked in your thoughts and felt the beauty of your dreams
Your words will now have more meaning
For I will have seen the place of their birth
And cradled you in my arms as you cried
Let me see you as you are in the place of your birth.
