You beckon
With an outstretched hand
To new lands.
I shrink back
So faithless and scared
I just can’t.
You don’t move
Your love radiates
You are pure.
I shudder
I dare hesitate
I’m ashamed.
You know this
You keep loving me
Your hand remains.
My head drops
I hate being unsure
I fail You.
You are love
Your eyes penetrate
Your smile surrounds.
I wipe tears
I fall to the ground
I give up.
You chuckle
This is what You want
You know best.
I look up
I can’t believe You
I’m in awe.
You kneel down
Your hand still beckons
Your smile remains.
My hand shakes
My mouth quivers so
I have hope.
You move close
I can’t stop crying
We join hands.
I say help
You reply of course
We both stand.
You point out
I see what You want
We agree.
We take steps
We move together
We go on.
We talk some
We look on ahead
We will arrive.
You told me
Although I am dark
I’m lovely
I’m not scared
I’m not ashamed now
I have faith.
