Oh what sheer joy, it was to me
to be bounced high upon your knee;
to be lifted to the bright blue sky,
my two arms outstretched, as to fly.
'Pon your shoulders I view the sea,
within your gaze, to climb a tree.
to feel my fingers all entwine;
within your grasp, my soul life line.
To see my world within your eyes;
to know you listened for my sighs.
How can just one man’s love compare;
to the fondness that I found there?
How can any one lover vie?
Or even dare just to just try
to place me firmly on his knee;
to lift me up, so I can see?
Or perhaps, he would simply ask
if this was not to be my task?
To plumb the darkest depth within;
to light my own spark, and begin.
Will I admit and ever find
what I’ve sought in another’s mind?
Can I stop looking full of sighs
for my life in a man’s bold eyes?
What sheer joy, I’m sure it will be;
when I have learned and I can see;
That all I really need to know;
I’ll find within , if I just go.
