Who I'm Singing To

Mara Lynn Barbee

----------------------------------------

I stare off into space
with a slight smile -- on my face.
No one sees what I do.
They don't know -- I see you.

* - * - *--*- ~#^

You're such a great friend;
you're with me everywhere.
You lift my spirits when I
don't want to care.

You make it all fun,
something worth living through.
And have you guessed yet
who I'm singing to.

* - * - *--*-

You pop up when I'm bored,
and give me something fun to do.
You suggest I draw.
Sure why not; I'll draw you.

You ask about your story.
Is it turning out all right.
Like you wouldn't know.
I say I'll work on it tonight.

* - * - *--*- ~#^

I'm so proud of you;
you light up the day.
Don't need to tell you -
'cause you know anyway.

A happy ending
I sure will give to you.
'N others may know by now
who I'm singing to.

* - * - *--*-

You're prepared for war
when I step -- out the door.
When it's dark outside,
you watch the shadows --
where things hide.

You help me smile again
when I need -- a constant friend.
Not that I often do.
But when I do, I turn to you.

* - * - *--*- ~#^

You're so reliable;
you're just a thought away.
And always free to help me
pass a sunny day.

You make life so fun,
here's tribute to you.
You smile mind-to-mind; you know
who I'm singing to.
