i wish i could give you the wind, the ocean and all the birds, to constantly make beautiful melodies that will lull you to deep slumber as you dream beautiful dreams.

i wish i could give you the sun, to give you warmth when my embrace fails to take away the winter chill.

i wish i could give you the moon and the stars, to make a necklace out of them and place them on your neck. but their grandeur will pale in comparison when one gazes at the innocence of your eyes.

i wish i could give you the world, for you to hold it in your hands and play with it.

i wish i could give you everything little one, a world entirely different from the one i grew up in.

but i could only give you my love, which sadly,  will inevitably fail due to the fact that i am merely human. but it is a love that is as constant as the ocean waves lapping on the shore, mighty and yet gentle just the same.
