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.
