You Are Asking Me To Be Here Poem by Aldo Kraas

You are asking me to be here
And I will be here
Also you are saying please
Don't just let me die here alone
I know that you will be looking out of the window
Every morning that I will be walking down the street
And you will be able to see me from your window
I don't know if tomorrow you will be here
But what happens I will accept
You might not always agree with me
But that is the way life goes
I am not saying that you are a genious
Other people are telling you that and when they do
They are setting you up for failure
They might not know you as well
Than you know yourself
You can say that it is luck of understanding or knowledge, or
Ignorance
Because everybody is different
Maybe you know
Something that I don't know
Maybe there are things that doesn't make sense to you
There might be things that are taking place in your life
That you don't want to discuss with me
Or the world outside to know
I respect your feelings
And I know that you will respect mine
I can read your body lanquage
And I believe that it is telling me
That you need a rest
Tonight it is already too late
And you are going to sleep
Now I will let you embrace the peace
In your sleep
Here is the new day today
That God made
For you
So enjoy it
