Have you ever held the world in your arms?

I have, and it is a powerful feeling

 

The world arrived small, fragile and scared

I could feel the warmth of it

It stuck to my arms

And left its mark on my heart

 

The world seemed light, but the weight began to set

It was heavier than it looked

For the weight settled in my mind

And made me realize I needed to change

 

The world looked me in the eyes for a moment

And I understood a truth

This would not be an easy task

But it would reward me throughout my life

 

So I ask again,

Have you ever held the world in your arms?

I have held my world in mine

And its something I hope all can feel someday
