Owe You So Much

"Owe You So Much"
(written 4/12/01 - 4/13/01 -- 17 years old)

If I had a nickel
For every time
You made me smile
I’d be rich beyond compare.

If I could come hug you
Every time
You dried my tears
I’d embrace you for a thousand years.

If the world could laugh
Every time
You changed my mind
Only giggles would be heard.

If a child could say more
Every time
You heard my silent cries
He could speak every word.

If only I could see you
Every time
You’ve helped me out
We would never have to be apart.
