When?

What lies beneath,

What’s hidden inside,

Who do you show,

The secrets you hide,

When do you open,

Yourself to another,

When do you bare,

Reveal or uncover,

*

Who sees the tears,

Concealed when they fall,

Who holds your hand,

When you feel yourself stall,

Who keeps you warm,

When the winds at your back,

Who fights your corner,

When you’re under attack,

*

When will you realise,

You’re not on your own,

When will you grasp,

This love that’s been shown,

When will you value,

The gift you’ve been given,

The chance to renew,

And release what’s been hidden.
