I would sit and encourage you
show you the right way
I would do it for nothing
for an hour of my day.
You said you didn't look good
You needed some help
I was the one who could help you
because I knew how you felt.
I saw you succeeding
I knew you could tell
until one day
when you nearly fell.
It was frightening to you
And I felt really bad
I didn't want you to leave
feeling afraid and mad.
I didn't know if you'd return
our next scheduled day
so I did all I could do
bowed my head and prayed.
Please help us move forward
In both training and as friends
so together will reach
our goal in the end.
Its important to me
to help her reach that dream
she has spirit and spunk
much more than she sees.
Nervously I waited
for that day to come
then she walked in with a smile
and I knew, in that moment, we'd won.
