The Inner Person
Saw you standing there
A new kid, from who knows where
Judged you by your looks and words
And immediately thought you as weird as nerds
Saw you sitting there
Alone and sad,
Eating your lunch, and at everyone you were mad
I wondered why,
Why am I out casting someone whose story I do not know
Why did I make fun of you, and treat you as a foe
No even knows who you are
And from everyone, you are so far
I walk over and you look away
I'm sorry I started to say
But you stopped me and said it's okay
We talked and I learned
That the inner you had for so long yearned
The company of a friend
Who will listen and be there for you till the end
You had cancer and time was coming to an end
So you wanted someone that you can spend
The last few joyous weeks of your life
That will no longer be filled with strife
I'm glad we got to meet
Even if you don't roam the earth anymore with your two feet
You fly in the sky, in the heaven
And I can hear you talk, when I listen
The deep and inner person
That from everyone is usually hidden
Needs someone, a friend, who will help him or her smile
And I know, learning the inner person of each person,
Will always be worthwhile.
