One Brick At a Time

You patiently take down one brick at a time 
From this wall I live behind 
You show me how much you care 
And that you always will be here 
I closed my heart afraid of pain 
Don't ever want to feel that again 
Slowly you open the door that is locked so tight 
Reassuring me every thing will be alright 
Helping me let go of this fear of mine 
Showing a heart so true and kind 

            -C.A.Saputo xoxo
