Glad

I am glad.

You where so knew to the world,

Yet still so young,

You had no knowledge of truth,

Your elders' teachings strong within.

I am glad.

You where amazed by the world,

Your ignorance exposed,

Everything you'd been taught-

A lie.

I am glad.

I wondered if you could learn,

So I teased and I hurt,

I've yet to find why your words annoyed me so,

How could you call me that?

I am glad.

Away from the temple,

Away from your elders,

Your eyes began to open,

And you where learning alone.

I am glad.

I was there when you fell,

And I offered my hand,

I waited a long a time,

But in the end you let me help.

I am glad.

Your light was so brilliant,

I was drawn to it,

When you where near,

I could finally see myself.

I am glad.

My dark cancelled your light,

And through the dimmed light you could see,

Yet you never realized,

Your light cancelled by darkness in return.

I am glad.

I showed you the truth,

And it scared you so,

Your temper rose,

But I could not go.

I am glad.

You where scared and alone,

But I stayed by you side,

Your smile worth it all,

Together we survived.

I am glad.
