This poem is about how Faramir strives for his father's love. It shows how as a child he wanted to be "daddy's boy" and even now as a man he still wants his father's approval, yet somehow it always seems just out of reach.
Will He See Me?
If I am rough
If I am wild
If I am never filled with guile
If I am smart
If I am skilled
Perhaps he will set down his quill...
And see me.
If I am quiet
If I am bold
If I receive the strength of old
If I am tall
If I am stern
Then maybe he, at last, will turn...
And see me.
If I am quick
If I am proud
If I can speak the truth aloud
If I am tough
If I am wise
The maybe he will raise his eyes...
And see me.
If I am terse
If I am hard
Maybe my path will be unbarred
If I am far
If I am near
Then maybe this time he will hear...
And see me.
If I am swift
If I am clear
If I am just like Boromir
If I am calm
If I am brave
Maybe this day he'll be amazed...
And see me.
If I am lost
If I am found
Perchance he will no longer frown
If I am gone
If I am dead
May-hap he will lift up his head
And see me...
If he will think
If he will know
I wish he would remove my load
If he will call
If he will see
Maybe for once he will love me
Perhaps even smile upon me
Oh, Lord above if he will only...
Have faith in one who's lost at sea.
Will he someday turn to me?
Will he...will he truly see...
Will he see...
Me?
