Will You Wait for Me?

I don't always get things right,
I stumble and I fall,

I don't always have the drive
to keep up with you,
I am fragile in emotion

and I often cry.

I change with the seasons,
but always carry a smile,
my stormy weather
is as soft as my shine.

The shadows live in my eyes,
they are always with me,
but the sun is on my shoulder
so it isn't always rain.

I get lost in the understanding
not knowing how to just be
I hide my dirty hands
thinking you will find me unworthy
if only in my mind.

Please tell me,
if I fall behind
if I get lost around the bend

if I fumble in exhaustion
or break in the effort...

will you wait for me...
