Before You
By Ashley O’Hare
Before you I never liked my mind;
it was filled with thoughts that were never kind.
Before you I though I had nothing to bring,
but one day with you taught my heart to sing.
I know this thing with us can not go far,
so I’ll collect these memories in a jar.
When it comes time for us to go our separate ways,
I hope you know I’ll think of you each day.
When they ask me how I finally got free,
I’ll tell them that an angel showed me I was worthy.
