That 0.1%

 

You're strong;

Stronger than you know.

You are prepared to stand tall,

In places others fear to go.

 

You command their attention,

Even when you are trying to hide,

Because people are forever drawn

To all that you are on the inside.

 

Hidden from their view,

Screened from their gaze,

The key only given to those

Who practice life in the same way.

 

But even the strongest of us,

The ones who provide love and protection,

Have creases and seams,

Where doubt can creep in.

 

And when that occurs,

So rare that it may be,

I will always be there to protect you,

By doing unto you as you do to me.

 

And I would live and die,

Hold on tight, and never relent, 

Because life will always have purpose

For that 0.1 percent.
