Double Strong In You Poem by Mark Heathcote

Have you ever watched a hawk hover?
Follow the flow of the wind along with the heather
stood in silence gazing at the lapping water
or run through a meadow filled with laughter.

Have you ever watched the morning dew sparkle?
Have you ever swum with the barbel
or stood amidst a storm and felt colossal
even stronger than a tidal wave coastal.

What makes a boy a man?
An acorn to grow in the palm of your hands
whatever makes a hawk hover?
Without crashing into its motherland
whatever makes a meadow flower root
derived its strength double-strong in you.

Whatever makes the morning dew?
Wells up in tears of happiness in you,
whatever makes a barbel swim firm midstream?
Have a steadying grip on me and you too
That's why the storm can't sway your resolve.
And that's why I believe in you.
