The Ugly Duckling

Who is there for you?
Who is there when you fall?
Who is there to answer your call?
Who is there to show you the way?
Who is there to light the day?
Who is there to ward off the bad?
Who is there to drive you mad?
Who is there to love you forever?
Who is your stength and tower?
Who is there to listen to your cry?
Who is there to make you try?
Who is your family and your love?
The person looking down from above.
Who is that holding your hand?
If he lets go, you cannot stand.
Don’t get up, you cannot brave,
The step towards the future you crave.
Hold his hand and move towards him,
In his arms, you can slowly swim
The throng of needs fade away,
All your fears are kept at bay,
Take strength from him and carry on
You are not a duckling, you are a swan.

Touch and Go

Around the tree, inside the door

Around the table, out the window

Around an idea, inside the door

Around the opportunity, out the window

Again and again, never stayed in

Again and again, always pushed out
