I won't dwell
I won't drown myself
I'll stand tall
with my head held high
knowing in my heart
that I'm blessed
beyond the words
I have in my heart
that flow from these lips
from these finger tips
if I reach for you
will you meet me
in the middle
or will you already be here?
to catch me if I fall
I'm sure I'll fall
I always do
but falling is
so much less painful
than failing
inspired I write these words
thank you for everything
you give me reason to live
reason to paint a picture
without using any paint
for my words are my paint
and this sheet of paper
is my canvas
the picture is never the same
from one minute to the next
it varies person to person
I see the world in all its splendor
but is that what you see?
you give me reason to sing
and share my voice
with those surround me
thank you
for instilling the fear
of failing
and disappointing
the God of my life
in my soul
thank you
for believing in me
even when I can't
thank you
for pushing me
cause you know
I won't push myself
thank you most of all
for walking away
and walking back
thank you
for saving me
from the terrible heart ache
that would have shattered
my life
and my emotions
into pieces smaller
than your shattered heart
thank you
I love you
and your big heart
for all you do
