Scott Whitby, 2021


I never had the best of anything

Not gonna start today

But if I ever tried for anything

You'd be the one I'd play


I'd sing you a song

You'd be the main part

I'd open your eyes and

You'd see my heart


Wasn't born with a silver spoon

Lucky to find second base

But if you'd just look at me

I'd think I won the race


I can write you a poem

Words and prose select

You'd read only truth

Nothing to suspect


Even a book would be so easy

You'd conquer everything

Then hold my hand and walk away

I'd sing and dance and sing


I never had much of anything

For sure not much that mattered

But you're not just anything

I saw you...it left me shattered


The universe...whatever that is

More and bigger than we know

We can't ever understand

It's just like you...so
