| Appreciation In a hard world we meet she is seventeen I am older, older than she Though she tries to come off as cold and tough She's not fooling me I can see through her eyes to her broken heart and I know how she feels So when she tries to be cruel I know she's hurting and I give her room to heal She is nineteen and now she is pregnant and sick so I make a small sacrifice "Would you do that for me?" she is so surprised and she says "You are so nice" and "I won't forget what you did for me tonight I won't forget one day I know everything will be alright but I won't forget" When she first came to church she was eight years old and I was seventeen But that was eight years ago when we didn't know what the word love really means but I thought she was special she thought I was cute We bonded a little and friendship took its root Where did we go wrong? How did things get so out of hand? Where does the time go? Slipping through our careless hands |
| When she was fourteen years old, one time we talked for two days a genuine heart to heart And I really must say I was just as amazed as I was torn apart cause she told me some horror stories of things she had done. And how things had changed around her and what she had become I shake my head she says "What?" I said "Last time I saw you, you were just a child" She makes a fist pounds her heart and she says "I still am. Right here. Right here." Now she's sixteen years old and she's trying to get straight and I know that she will. But her heart is still broke and there's still lots of pain and the girl needs time to heal I got a letter and picture today cause we stay in touch I read those words and I saw that photo She's really changed so much She said "Here's a picture of me so now you can take me with you whereever you go You have always been there for me and I love you and I want you to know You'll always have a special place in my heart No matter what may change you'll always have this place" Copyright 2003 Words and Music Keary jon Botley |
