KNEELING By Tom Jensen
It's time to inspire
I think that I'm ready
I finally stopped shaking
Though I'm still not
Quite fully steady
It has come that time
To try to walk by myself
If I need some assistance
At least I have someone else
Someone's who's vowed to help
You see I've fallen down
And just laid there
on the floor
I never made a sound
No, I never asked for your help
I thought I could do it by myself
But that just led
to empty feelings
As a deeper sadness
grew inside
When what I needed
was healing
And to gain back
some of my pride
That would bring
back to life
The part of me
that died...
But it never really died
I found it was only sleeping
So, I wasn't afraid to cry
No, I wasn't afraid of weeping
I knew I was
growing cold inside
When my tears
they started freezing
That's when I knew
I had to open my eyes
I couldn't yet stand
So I began by kneeling
And I got to where
the air was warm
As slowly, I went
from the lowly
To where I started
to regain my form
It's time to inspire
I think that I'm ready
I finally stopped shaking
Though I'm still not
Quite fully steady
It has come that time
To try to walk by myself
If I need some assistance
At least I have someone else
Someone's who's vowed to help...
