I Can Make You Happy ... If I'm Happy, Too


I Can Make You Happy ... If I'm Happy, Too

Photo of me when I was a younger Granny Gee/Gloria Faye Brown Bates.  Photo/Poem owned, written by me.


Will  you stand in my way when I move forward
Or, step back to let me go on my way

Will you make my path easier
As, I pass you by

Would you throw obstacles in my way
To slow me down

As I try to go up
Would you… pull me down

I can feel it… you know
I can feel if you pull me backwards… down

When you let me go… like a helium balloon escaped
I can soar, and soar to heights… unknown

Let me go… let me be me
Let me go my way… I’ll come back to you

If you hold me down … now
Eventually, the day will come… I’ll go my way

Let me soar, be that balloon
I can make you happy… if I’m happy, too

Let me soar, be that balloon
I can make you happy… if I’m happy, too
