Shannon Fletcher Poet I do not know?

He Told Me

Somebody told me today
Do what makes you happy
- I have yet to get that far

But he reassured me today
That everything will be fine
- Keep reaching for that star

He told me life is short
Don't waste it being miserable
- So i'm trying not to be

He told me i'm so young
The whole world is in front of me
- I'll take this risk and we'll see

He told me that he loved me
If I needed him to just ask
- He's like my second father

He said he believes in me
And I'll get so very far
- And he hugged me like a daughter

He said when it looks like
Nothing will go right
- To tell myself it will all be ok

And if I start to doubt
My strength in myself
- To think tommorrow is another day

He told me I have
So much good to offer
- Congratulated me for having a heart

He said he wished me
All the luck in the world
- "Enjoy your brand new start"
