Never Let Go
Influential Poem Of A Father's Love For His Daughter
One by one.
Take one step at a time,
Said her daddy, teaching her to walk,
The little girl only one year old.
She looked up and smiled
And let go of his hand.
Now seventeen years old,
Out driving in the snow.
Driving too fast, hitting a pole.
After getting the news,
Her dad rushes to her.
Hearing the terrible news:
She may never walk again.
One by one, my dear.
Take one step at a time,
Said her daddy teaching
Her to walk again.
She looked up with a smile,
As she did sixteen years ago and
Let go of his hand for the last time.

Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?
