Their tears are my tears;

I found them, it’s only fair.

You told me they were a burden, but

I said not to worry.

I told them I’d always be there.

Their smiles are my smiles;

They gave them to me, why can’t I keep them?

You told me they were useless, but

I said not to fuss.

Every smile is a radiant gem.

Their love is my love;

You understand, you showed me how.

You told me to be careful, but

I told you to trust.

My heart is for me to endow.
