Just Let Go

7 July 2010  7:36 AM

Hanging on to yesterday and many days before
I was holding by my fingertips, what ifs and whys galore

So afraid of failing and falling I surely felt my doom
I cried for help to anyone please come and save me soon

People came and tried to help but I could not understand
It was if they were speaking a language from a foreign land

Then just as it seemed hopeless, and that my life was at an end
Someone reached not down for me but up their helping hand

I took that hand who did not speak but smiled more and more
And when I let go I then realized I was only two feet off the floor
