Before You Can Walk Poem by Mark Heathcote

If you've ever got to run
Before you can walk
Put your faith in someone,
And not just anyone,
Someone who doesn't ever show his face
Someone strong, but not high and proud
Someone humble as a dissipating cloud
Who doesn't rain but always hangs around?
And parts - gives enough space so
The sun can shine, shine just like you.

Put your faith in someone,
Someone who has your better interest at heart
And when you've found that someone,
Never let them part.

If you've ever got to run
Before you can walk baby,
Put your faith in someone,
Like those trembling leaves on the breeze
That's when the centre of everything can be found
That's when the flowers cling to their grace
And-blossom likes rose petals shine on your angelic face
Because a smile like yours was never commonplace.
