The Unknowing Mentor

I watched intently My eyes In conflict, to not know To not have ever witnessed, this which Now unfolds before my eyes. I'm beyond the age of a child That seeks shelter in mother's bosom I'm beyond that of a young buck who has Caught the scent & pursues his first love I'm not to the age that my skin Resembles the walnut seed Not to the age where life has slowed to Which would allow time to tend the blooms I've witnessed many things,but what I witness now is beyond my grasp of what's Possible in this life, I've heard of Miracles, seeing, & doing Godly things My heart beats faster than the wings flapping on a hummingbird's flight I'm more excited than that of a young Coming down stair on Christmas morning And.... Well.... I owe it to you... Such profound beauty & benevolence You are an Angel sent to teach us I have witnessed to most beautiful act Of selfless courage & love I've ever seen Though I could never be you I can change, I will change You will never know nor see But you are my mentor I want to be like thee R.K.H
