Racing Heart

I don't want to meet your eyes
Because I don't want you to see my cries
But you see me and wipe my tears
Comforting me and calming my fears
You lift up my chin
And give a soft grin
You kiss my forehead and make me smile
Making my heart race a mile
You tell me, "It'll be okay"
You bow my head and we begin to pray
Then as I still stand there with my arms crossed
You wrap your arms around me and all my fear is lost
Then you grab my hand and lead me away
"I love you" you say "It's all okay"
