I see you watching me,
Focused, determined, meticulously.
Taking in every word, every small movement.
Eyes so big, so beautiful, watching me.
I see you practice and practice,
Determined to mimic every sound, every syllable,
every word, every jesture I make.
I see you looking up to me with adoring eyes,
So full of love, tenderness, such pure
untouched innocence.
I look into your eyes and see you wanting
to be so much like me.
It fills me with awe and wonderment
That such a beautiful little person would so
desire to portray someone like me.
It sends fear into my heart, that one day,
I will fail to be the right kind of person you need.
I fear that I may make bad judgements
and decisions, which may lead you astray
from you true life path.
I fear I will disappoint you and in turn
you will lose that look of love in your eyes
when....
I see you watching me.
