PLEASE….
Maria Wahba, Arts student at Girls’ College
Please,
Please,
Don’t ever let her cry.
Don’t ever let tears glisten anywhere near her eye.
Please,
Please,
Don’t ever let her again see
The pain she went through over the years.
Please,
Please,
Don’t ever let her again feel
The throb of an aching heart that bleeds with every beat.
Please,
Please,
Don’t ever get her near
Anything her eyes wouldn’t bear to see.
Please,
Please,
Don’t ever let her fear,
What has to come as she lives and what has to disappear.
Please,
Please,
Let her be the love, let her be the key,
That opens every heart and the wounds it conceals,
Because she will have the power to heal.
Please,
Please,
Let her laughter be heard by all foreign ears,
Its sound can silence all painful screams.
Please,
Please,
Let her heart smile, let her hands be here,
They have the softest touch, they wipe away all tears.
Please,
Please,
Let her be the strongest and the smartest through the years,
The world would be happy with her bright light beams.
Please,
Please,
Allow myself to be,
Her friend, her support, and all she ever needs,
Though I may burden her, my love is much too deep.
And if get to choose one thing for the rest of my days to reap,
I’d blindly choose her as my heart skips a beat.
She’s all I ever want to see, to love, to keep.
