`Expect`

If you were to come and seek me
What would you expect to find?
Would you look for something you've known
Or something you never had in mind?
If you were to long to hear my voice
What would you hear instead?
Would you listen for the sound of angels
Or listen for the wailing of the dead?
If you were to gaze into my eyes
What would you want to see?
Would you visualize my soul
Or would you make it past me?
If you were to come and seek me
Would you see my earthly face?
Or would you see the years of pain
That you have misplaced?
If you were to long to hear my voice
Would you hear my plea?
Or would you hear the laughter and the joy
That you have given me?
If you were to gaze into my eyes
Would you see my tears?
Or would you see the pride and the bravery
Since you have taken away the fear?
If you would do all this
What would you see?
You would see yourself for you are a part of
For you are reflected in me
