‘I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned’

For the one who never signed her masterpiece
For the one who never sung her song
I will write a poem every day
Or just walk along

For the one whose tale is ever untold
For the one who burns inside
I will write a poem every day
Or just be on her side

For the one who said her first hello
While singing her last goodbye
I will write a poem everyday
Or love her on the sly

For the one who was never mine
For the one faraway
I will write a poem everyday
Or make her feelings sway

For the one who is still unborn
For the one I will never meet
I will write a poem everyday
Or walk a lonely street

For the one who will never read my lines
For the one who will never care
I will write a poem everyday
Or meet her everywhere

For the one who never signed her masterpiece
And left so much behind
I will sign her thoughts everyday
I will sign her restless mind
