You Helped me Grow
You Helped Me Grow
Childish thoughts roamed freely in
my mind, feeling that they would stay
forever.
The ways of an infant dominated the present
lifestyle I was living.
My brain would gladly speak a lie. Demanding
actions and speech from a child.
My heart would later regret my savagery and accept its defeat.
The existence of the quarrel between my heart and brain is now
peaceful.
You, helping me overcome this shameful characteristic, was the
bravest action I have ever seen.
You helped a shy immature boy, turn into the man
that you are in love with today.
You made me into the person I thought only came to
life in dreams. You have opened so many locked doors
that I had feared to attempt to open.
People grow in personality, humor, confidence and
style. But baby, you have made me grow in life. And I
cannot thank you enough for what you have done.
The recognition of my new self has still failed to settle in my mind,
but I know that I am a changed man and my brain and heart don’t
find themselves in pointless altercations because all they know is that I
love you.
