“Learning”

Your light shines and warms my soul

My heart opens like a blossom in the spring

Spreading my wings I take flight

My journey long and tiring you are with me

As storm clouds approach you are here

Lightning strikes you heal my wounds

Dancing and running you’ve paid me

Rewards deep in the eyes of another

Smiles fill me frowns I kiss away

Through little fingers I see time slip

Strong hands are made by you through me

Sorrow I cannot hold at bay

You have lessons to teach them

With your hand as my spine I move forward

Every second is a sweet drop of rain

Every tear is a stone in the path to freedom

My love for you is the rolling wind

Not held back flowing around each obstacle

Some days sore feet slow my pace

But I know you are still waiting

For my follies I am sorry

A strong will was not wasted on me 

On bended knee I await your hand 

Please don’t give up on me
