Go Be Yourself

You my dear,
Have wondered far and near.
To find a place,
To rest your weary face.
A place so sweet,
Oh what a treat,
That will be,
If only you could see.



You my dear,
Have been wondering far and near,
To find someone, 
who will tell you your his number 1.
Dont you fret,
You'll find him someday i bet.
But for now,
Go and be yourself,
For you can be nobody else.

Sweet and endearing. I like how there's that gap between the two stanzas. It's like a reflective and dramatic pause between thoughts that are full of understanding.
