I'll Show You

I know you're a bit closed off,
Your love you can't freely show,
Expression of emotion is foreign to you,
It's a way you do not know.
But take my hand and I will help,
You discover what you have inside,
I have enough love for both of us,
It's something I cannot hide.
And slowly we will journey forth,
Discovering passion along the way,
Tonight will be our road's beginning,
And tomorrow's another day.

This poem came to me while I was on our veranda having a beer with Dad. He was a bit closed off until about 20 years ago when his Dad died. There were so many things he didn't get to say to his father. I guess then he figured life was too short to be closed off. In any case I was thinking what it would be like to be in a relationship like that. The poem resulted.
