'All I want is for you to know'

For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem with the following title: "All I want is (blank)," where you fill in the blank with a word or phrase of your choosing. Some example titles, then, could be: "All I want is to eat fried chicken"; "All I want is world peace"; "All I want is for everyone to tell me I'm beautiful"; or "All I want is a handful of quarters."

‘All I want is for you to know’

All I want is for you to know
that I will never cease to grow.

When the sun gathers its light
and gently falls the night,
and days add on to days,
and months swell to years,
should you pause to look,
you might see me
in a more generous light.

All I want is for you to know
that I will never cease to grow.
