Glad To Have You

The fear of an impromptu speech

strikes me hard

I shivered 

And I was afraid 

Of the same scenario happening

Thank you for letting me hold your hand

As I tried to calm myself 

 

When the moment came

I was reluctant 

Maybe I should have rejected

Nonetheless 

Thank you for reaching out your hand

Offering to accompany me

 

Your soothing presence by my side made me less frightened 

With your hand

I took a major step up

Thank you for the comforting look in your eyes

I had not fall down

By the fear of speeches

 

It was not the best 

But perhaps the first step

To overcoming it

And how many of you would I meet

As we go our separate paths

 

So openly extroverted

So willingly helpful

Such reassurance I can seek from you

Such a supportive friend to have
