your vision

Blind you were
and
you couldn’t see,

somewhere behind your visions
of what you expected of me,

just who I had become.

One to be so proud of,
this much is true,

if you had only taken the time

to see  just what I was,

instead of what I wasn’t.

Finally,
though from the great beyond,

for that is what it took,

to see from far away,

you saw and said,

There once was a day that I did see,
you to be, what I couldn’t be,
and to live my dreams through you,

and of those dreams, I have let go,
and now I know, this much is true,

I was blind, but now I see,
all the things you were to me

I once had visions that you would be
all the things I dreamed of thee,

and yet you went your own way, 
to become who you’ve become

and for such a time I could not see
for you weren’t what
I thought you should be,
in my minds eye.

And I was too blind
to be able to see,
the person you’d become.

Not my vision, this is true,
but oh so special are you,

now that I finally see,
all the things you be,

and now,
I thank

procreation,
revelation,
realization.
