I’m here

Every twist in the road
Is a mark on your soul
Every hill that you climb
Every hope, every goal

At the foothill of change
You might feel less assured
Will your doubts be unfounded,
Insecurity cured?

Your eyes are the panes
That reveal who you are
And your words, the curtains
That obscure every scar

The rooms of your heart
May be guarded, but brave
On the strength of your will
You roll on like a wave

As you stand at the eve
Of a chapter unknown
Find the courage, the grit
To face it alone

But in moments of burden
When the world feels apart
Put your head on my chest
And your tears in my heart
