I returned home
late at night,
from singing into a microphone
with my daughter in spotlights.

Inspired by your passion,
I can only shake my head
and marvel, after a fashion,
and wonder if I’m worthy, again.

Yet I know,
deep in my soul,
I, unlike most other men,
am.

What you are is who I am, inside.
Only, in you, the dream’s personified.
