Receive

Remember when you were young?
You were fresh
You were eager
You wanted to know
to learn
to receive
to grow

You asked and you received
You watched and you grew

Then you were old enough
You were mature enough
And told to lead

You learnt to give
To pray for others
To teach and show
You learnt to watch out for others
to see to their needs
Until you forgot your own

You gave until it hurt
But you forgot you have to receive
to give
You poured until you were dry
But you forgot how to ask

You've tried to give SO much
You've forgotten how to receive

Receive from ME.
Don't be afraid to ask.
