I detest, yet I must confess
There’s still a few good men around
Ready, willing and able
To help out
A damsel in distress
An old hag in duress
One in the same
Violently engaged
In a parking lot – folly
Cursing (under breath)
Tugging (hem of dress)
Kicking (tires bent)
Not one, but two men
Stepped out of the crowd
Made me proud
As they carried it around
Calmed me down
Helped
Me
Out
When freaking out
When I pull away
Let go and leave you alone
You bring me back home
As if you already know
How we strengthen and then grow
The proof goes to show
To those that don’t already know
Their friends from their foes
It will stunt your growth
Misconceptions led us astray
We all like to exchange
Words throughout the day
It’s in the nature of our ways
Today, I absolutely loved
That she wanted a hug
Quite simply because
I spoke her native tongue
When I find myself
Lost in your admiration
My doubts disappear
Fading into the background
A lifetime of assurance
Too good not to share….
As if that wasn’t enough, this kids story is short of miraculous and inspiring. Take a look at the behind the scenes.
If you’re 1 of the 43,000,000 previous viewers you could’ve shared this with me earlier you know, but I ain’t mad atcha.
Your optimistic
Frequent praise serves to brighten
Up my darker days
Life’s a labyrinth
Of decisions one must make
Blind intuition
Leads us through the maze, we play
With dead-ends and great escapes
