You fell
I saw
I saw and
learnt falling is okay if you know how to get up
You cried
I saw
I saw and
learnt crying is okay if you are hurt
You slipped
I saw
I saw and
learnt I can slip, slide and swing if I know my own grounds
You broke
down I saw
I saw and
learnt breaking down is okay if you know how to pick up the pieces
You
feared I saw
I saw and
learnt its okay to fear the unknown
You walked
I saw
I saw and
learnt to walk off things I am not sure of
You laughed
I saw
I saw and
learnt to laugh at my own mistakes
You loved
I saw
I saw and
learnt to love myself
You hated
I saw
I saw and
learnt it is okay to hate few things in life
You spoke
I saw
I saw and
learnt that it is okay to speak up for things I believed in
You
heard I saw
I saw and
learnt to have a patient ear
You fell
again I saw
I saw you
falling down again and again
But I have learned enough to give you my hands, hold you tight and tell you its okay to
fall every time
Dedicated to my mother for being
who she is. For leading with a courageous example.
A lead difficult to follow. I hope I am able to be a fraction of a woman she
was and she is.
