What It Is We See

by Kevin Sinclair

People may look at you and wonder
What it is you see in me
I say let them wonder because
Someday they may come to understand..........

A seed grows into a plant that flowers
And people stand there admiring the bloom
They don't stop to think of the humble beginning
Or the rebirth to which it is due
I suppose you could say the same of me
I started as nothing and now I'm something
That is very beautiful and special to you.

People may look at me and wonder
What it is I see in you
You say let them wonder because
Someday they will come to understand..........

The earth is alive with so many creatures
And people are amazed at the beauty they see
They don't stop to think of being part of it
Or that it is in giving they receive
I know I can't say the same about you
You started giving and now I'm receiving something
That is very beautiful and special to me.

People may look at us and wonder
What it is we see in each other
We say let them wonder because
Soemday they may come to understand.
