I Was the One
Did I not say you were bound to go far
Didn’t we concur while shooting the breeze
Did we not walk among the birds and the bees
Did I not become your je ne sais quoi
And didn’t you become my alma mater
Who taught me the ways that I shan’t go astray
Encouraged my pain, made me refrain
Counted the ways
Made me rephrase
And every so often accepted my praise
If I crawl on the ground
I could but just pray
Take in the sights and sounds of spring
Imagine the blossoms…
