written without lifting my pen from my paper except to cross an occasional “t” or dot a wandering “i” . . .
take my hand, walk with me, love me like only you can, run with me, watch me grow, spinning crazily, dizzily out of control, i want to jump, i need you to catch me, catch me when i fall, keep me from hitting the pavement, lift me up, let me trust you, follow you, everywhere stepping in your footprints, my small foot inside your larger step, needing you, protect me, hold me, i will love you, adore you, honor you, never leave your side, you’re my everything, my world is in your hands, your voice, your smile, your eyes, listen to me, i’ll listen to you, don’t give up, don’t go away, don’t make me cry, i need you, do you need me?
