Know U Anywhere

Know U Anywhere

Leddy Hammock

from I’d Know You Anywhere” by Nancy Tillman

If one day we’re walking and talking, just us, and you looked different,
“I might be surprised, but just for a while. I’d know it was you by your magical smile.”

Even if you had been away for a long time and didn’t look at all like yourself, “I’d say,
‘My, my . . . that is quite a disguise!’ But I’d know it was you by the gleam in your eyes.”

“There are things about you quite unlike any other . . .
Things always known by your father or mother.
So, if you decide to be different one day, no worries . . . I’d know you anyway.”

“Yes, without question I’d know it was you.” “I know you by heart.”
Because, child of God, “I’d know you anywhere.”
