Thankful for the boy
who complimented me,
admiring my ability
to play the guitar.
If he only knew how far
outside my comfort zone
I had to travel to play
in front of others.
If he only knew the doubt
that floods my head
how badly I think I play.
If he only knew just how
encouraging his words were.

Author's Notes/Comments:
Wrote this one after a young man from my church told me that he found my YouTube channel and that I'm a "good guitar player." I found his words to be encouraging, as I sometimes doubt myself being self-taught. So, yeah I'm very thankful for his words of encouragement. You never know just how powerful the words you speak to others are. Thanks, C, I appreciate you.
