If I Want You To Know

If the stars do not shine at night,
they are not gone. 
If the moon does not shine as bright, 
there is still a nightly song. 

if the trees do not shake in the breeze,
the wind is still there. 
If the cold does not make the ground freeze,
the weather still screams in despair. 

If the rooster does not crow in the morning,
the sun does still rise. 
If the cat without a home dies without warning 
we may still hear its longing cries. 

If the world does not stop to cater to you, 
it's not your only chance. 
If the people passing dont have a clue, 
save it for later, know in advance. 

If your heart is broken, and you see no end, 
Just know that happiness awaits. 
If you sit, in desperation for one more friend,
Open your eyes for what the world creates. 

If you're ever unsure of what you feel,
Its okay not to know. 
If the problem itself wants to reveal, 
Take it by the hand, let it help you grow.

You have brought a little more "hopeful hopefulness" into the world with this poem, Tyra.
