when I am alone
contemplating myself
I see little more
than a confused boy
when I am with you
in your service
I am magnificent
meeting every challenge
the perfect intellect
is not enough
yet your wounded heart
has the power
I will learn this
most beautiful lesson
and let you
carry me
for now I know
that the difference is you
and I cherish you
now and always
