Standing As One

Standing As One

by Ainsley A. Cheng, 2010

Trust me, not in spontaneity,

But of the utmost sincerity,

From the valleys of your heart,

The only depths that will understand,

Because here I am,

Standing as one.

Allow me, not in reluctance,

But in reassurance,

Send me, not in fear and hesitance,

But in joy and acceptance,

That I am and that I will be

Standing as one.

One, whose hands will not forget

Every step, every time, every word of guidance.

One, whose two feet will probably stand

Because they once were grounded in your strength.

One, whose mind will succeed

With the encouragement instilled.

One, whose heart will boldly love

In likeness to the heart that mended the broken pieces.

For you,

I am forever

Standing as one.
