If you love something, set it free....If it comes back, it was meant to be...If it continues to fly...let it soar...And have faith that God has something better in store...

Slipping in and out of
Constant waves of pain
Don't understand why it's there
Don't know how to get rid of it
When I fall
I fall hard
Crack my head on the rough ground
The ache wont leave my body

Then you pick me up
You lift me out of pain
Everything feels good
I feel whole again
Every touch
Every whisper
I cling to with joy

When you set me down
Put me on solid ground
My knees begin to shake
I don't think I can do it
You hold my hand
You help me walk again
All of the pain
And memory of it
Fades
