Take My Word For It

“I won’t always be around,
you need to learn to do these things alone”
You are right
I do
Your words are true
and I will take your word for it
Sometimes, though, I think
you don’t understand just how deep
is my fear
and how near
to
the
edge
it takes me
You say “Kids! Who’d have 'em?!”
You say I never listen to a word you say
But I do
Just take my word for it
and give me time
and I will take your words
and your wisdom
to heart
but the hardest part
is passing them on to
my mind
My nerves fray
For strength I pray
You think I’ll find a way
I will take your word for it
if you say
so
and you must know
that when you give me your words to take
I will make
the most of them
well...
at least most of them, anyway
