One ChanceA Poem by Nichole Cosgrove
Take my hand
I promise I won't let you fall I'll help you stand to your highest strength And be there on your weakest days If I hurt you I'll try to heal If I wound you I'll try to seal Never will I mean harm When in safety of my arms Try, I will To crack the shield The one that blocks my vision field Fight, tooth and nail, I will To gain the love I know should prevail Something stronger then we knew Beats between us, great and true One chance we've been given To understand One chance we've been given To make it last I want to take it With both hands Hold it gently Make it grow and last I know you're scared I know you're afraid To take the risk To take the chance To lose something important So am I But I can't go my whole life Asking, 'what if?' I know we can have something great Just take the chance Take the jump let's see where it takes us Too many things have I felt To let you just walk away I know you felt something to That night we were together It wasn't one sided Let's take this chance And learn something new After all One chance we've been given To understand One chance we've been given To make it last We can take it With both our hands Hold it gently Nurture, watch it, help it grow and last If I hurt you I will help you heal If I wound you I will help it seal Never will I mean you harm In the safety of my arms Take my hand And take this chance And I'll be there always For you For me For us And the safety in eachothers arms © 2008 Nichole Cosgrove |
