I Watch

I watch this earth as the days go by. I watch you laugh, and I watch you cry. I watch you live and I watch you die. I watch my children as they come and go. I watch you all, but you shall never know. I watch as babies take first steps. I watch as the dying take last breaths. I watch the seas, as tides ebb and flow. I watch the forests as the saplings grow. I watch the ice plain as it melts away. I watch the dolphins as they leap and play. I wish to touch and I wish to feel. I wish to show that I am real. But that is something I can never do. Alas, I must stand alone..... and watch over you.
