Slow Down Girl Poem by Mike Gift

Stumbling and crawling and falling towards you
Left far behind but never will I stop
Sought you and everything was worth
You standing and harrowing there

Stretching my arms heartily
Close your eyes, rest on me, the world will lull
You lost that, You got this, You chased that, You caught this
You have all my heart

Take it.
I yield your footprints in the sand To be
Ahead of you
Open your eyes, I am here
You pulled me once
Never more shall I fall

Hop on
My back, I'll have your cross
My turn now to lead you
And I know you'll find your life

You live in my every thought, be scared no longer
In me you shall have your endless calm
Allow me to fill
All your air with Love
Sleep, my dear sleep

Let sorrows escape from tears and Die on your lips
Open your eyes and see wonderland's right here
You've not missed, Past you but coming back
Here's your heaven

Your shelter, Your holiday, Your sanctuary
I'll sing to you, let the songs overflow noise
Though the uncaring clock never stops for you
You know I will

I've endured miseries. I'll be strong for you
Always standing firm for you to rely on
Breath now the air
Just smile, light's there
I'll be your hope
