from I\u2019d Know You Anywhere\u201d by Nancy Tillman

If one day we\u2019re walking and talking, just us, and you looked different,
\u201cI might be surprised, but just for a while. I\u2019d know it was you by your magical smile.\u201d

Even if you had been away for a long time and didn\u2019t look at all like yourself, \u201cI\u2019d say,
\u2018My, my . . . that is quite a disguise!\u2019 But I\u2019d know it was you by the gleam in your eyes.\u201d

\u201cThere 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\u2019d know you anyway.\u201d

\u201cYes, without question I\u2019d know it was you.\u201d \u201cI know you by heart.\u201d
Because, child of God, \u201cI\u2019d know you anywhere.\u201d
