I give you my heart.

My hands aren't big enough to give you everything you need
These little legs cannot travel as far as you want to go
My ears are not acute enough to hear all that you say 
This old back is not strong enough to lift you as high as you deserve

I fail you, every breath in me - I beat the streets and bleed
But I still fail you. You deserve a world I do not know how to give.
Still, I fail. Dreams so large, are to heavy to hold.
Failure, it's not an option. I will be triumphant.

I gather more hands to carry the load.
We invent wheels to get us where we are going.
I am quiet now so I can listen to your plans.
I realize I do not need to carry you aloft,

For you are an angel of love and need nothing more than my heart to carry you aloft to the stars. I know my heart is big enough for all of us, for all of our dreams. Big enough to cradle our souls in times of darkness. My heart is an everspring of love and goodness. I'll give you that, and be satisfied.

I give you my heart.
