“I’m fine”, you said,
I’ve got this, here,
There is no cause,
For needless fear.

I smiled, because,
Deep down, I knew,
Those words, were so,
Most certainly you.

You draw your strength,
From deep inside,
A place that’s safe,
You somehow hide.

And yet for those,
Who care to look,
The truth is there,
Won’t be mistook.

That there is room,
To find a way,
To change those thoughts,
From here, today.

So you will know,
That others care,
And want to help,
So you’re aware.

And even if,
You’re always strong,
Maybe others can,
Just come along…

And share in times,
You’d only see,
And rest some fears,
And you… set free.

Because the times,
We learn to trust,
Give others time,
To prove to us…

That life is more,
When it is shared,
With special ones,
Who know, who care…

And in those times,
You’ll feel relief,
And take you from,
That latent grief…

That came when others,
Stole away,
The joy, that’s there,
In each new day.

And then the light,
Will shine for you,
Deep to your heart,
In all you do…

And you will know,
The path is clear,
To close your eyes,
And release that fear…

And carry your dreams,
Throughout your day,
To a place that’s new,
And far away.

To where your soul,
Has longed to be,
And you will smile,
With endless glee.

For the days we set down our fears, lean into the wind, and trust that things are unfolding as they should…
