Judging by the average: <br /> <br /> <br />I thought I was tall enough - <br /> <br />But I look up to you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I thought I was clever enough - <br /> <br /> <br />But I’m a child to your wisdom. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I thought I was brave enough - <br /> <br /> <br />But I shake with fear at the thought of losing you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />It seemed to me: <br /> <br /> <br />That I was strong enough - <br /> <br />Till your smile brought me to my knees. <br /> <br /> <br />That I knew beauty - <br /> <br />Till I saw you. <br /> <br />That I loved music - <br /> <br />Till I heard you laugh. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I was certain: <br /> <br /> <br />That nothing could surprise me any more - <br /> <br />Till you revealed yourself so amazingly. <br /> <br /> <br />That I had no ambition left - <br /> <br />Till you offered me promotion to your arms. <br /> <br /> <br />That I could trust my dreams to no-one - <br /> <br />Till you took my life into your gentle hands. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I thought my perception was good <br /> <br />But still I don’t understand why you care for me. <br /> <br />This is true though: I’m filled with gratitude <br /> <br />And that’s the rightest thing about me.<br /><br />Roy William Gotaas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-wrong-can-one-man-be/
