You said you were afraid to try until I convinced you that in my eyes you could not fail. You said you couldn't share your hurt until I showed you the scars on my heart. You said you wished you could do things differently until I convinced you it would not change how I felt about you. You said you could not fly until I lifted your arms and blew confindence under your wings. You said you were too tired to go on until I lent my shoulder to carry your load. You started to say you didn't deserve... I said be still and know you are special. My other pages |
