Take a Chance with Me

Joie Schmidt on Apr 20, 2008

…Risk trust and vulnerability.

Come with me, take my hand
Please, do not be afraid

The steps are seemingly dark and steep
This much I already knew

If you turn away now
We might never experience
What was beginning to unfold

I know your past
Tugs at your sleeves
It’s constant and comforting
So much so that sometimes
You forget to believe

I’m here right now
I took your small hand in mine
I kissed away a few tears,
I tried to show you life’s brighter side

Take a chance with me
Throw away your fears
Please open your heart,
Risk trust and vulnerability

Please give me the chance to
Care and spend some time with you
I ache for it so, my darling
If, you only knew…

This poem is very straight forward and open, I really liked
Take a chance with me
Throw away your fears
Please open your heart,
Risk trust and vulnerability

Such a hard thing to do but necessary for a love to grow.
