While I am here


    Loving I am, while I am here Don’t disrespect me while I am here Do not need my love with your respect when I am nowhere near Compassionate I am, while I am here Don’t neglect my caring while I am here Do not need my compassion for your caring when I am nowhere near   Understanding I am, while I am here Don’t take my understanding for weakness while I am here Do not need my understanding for your weakness when I am nowhere near Genuine I am, while I am here Don’t undermine me while I am here Do not need me genuinely when I am nowhere near   Love me while I am here  Respect me not out of fear Appreciate me, don’t provoke even if it is only one tear Do all that is possible while I am here Pass not any opportunity while I am here Before one day you realize I am nowhere near
