Can you care for someone you have never met?
Do the stars still shine on a cloudy night?

Can your heart feel when you have never touch?
Does the sun exist though it is raining?

Can friendship blossom though we are far apart?
When a tree falls in the forest and no one sees can it still be heard?

Can we really have so much in common?
Can two roses grow and look the same?

Can I care deeply though our eyes have never glanced upon each other?
Planted deep within the earth will a seed still grow?

What if I am rejected?
What is life if you never try?

Patricia Gale
