The Offering

Baby, I know it's hard,

but you have to offer me something.

Offer something...

to someone.



Offer something to yourself.



Offer a glimpse.

Offer a moment.

Offer a taste.

Offer a tiny little part at a time,

the rest will flow

right into all the spaces

it fits into.

I promise you.



offer up...



I'll take only what I need.

I'll leave some for you...

to share with others.



Baby, I know it scarey,

but you need to stand up for me.



Stand up,

for someone.



Stand up for yourself.



Stand a while.

Stand a smile.

Step a tiny little step at a time,

the rest will step right into all the spaces

they fit into.

I promise you.



Offer up...

for me...

for you...



Offer up...
