Then and Now

When for the first time, I tumbled It was you who comforted me  And advised me to wear the bruises  Like a warrior, proud and strong. It was you who assured me That I wasn’t a loser, at all No matter what numbers I earned You never questioned like the rest. Each time I ended up confused And looked up to you for advise Like a friend sensible, you guided My aptitude, you didn’t doubt. ‘twas you who showered me  With words of encouragement That helped me to get up, stronger After every catastrophic fall.  Dear Self! My friend, philosopher and guide It has always been you Be it then, or now.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
