At the county fair,
you took me on a scary ride.
It went fast,
and I felt I was going to cry.
If you had not been sitting across
from me in the claustrophobic
fenced seat,
I would have been traumatized.
Your hand was near mine,
as we held on so tight.
We got off the ride,
and I breathed.
If you hadn’t walked beside me,
I’d never remember how to.
You come home every couple of days
and show more love for us than
stress from work.
Though some memories of my
moments are worth
squashing,
I keep you in mind and
how you loved me no matter
what they said about me.
I wake up,
I think about it,
and I fight through the hard circumstances.
If it hadn’t been for you,
I’d be nothing.
You really made my life something,
thank you.
