The Length Of My Arms |
I’ve always had long arms and my sleeves never fit |
And my mother would worry about my dangling wrists and |
I never grew to tall, but it did me no harm |
To never grow into the length of my arms |
What I have embraced, what I’ve carried for years |
Like a bucket of self doubt, like a basket of fears |
But we finally cherish what we got from the start |
Like the length of our own arms and the shape of our hearts |
I dreamt I was flying, and I dreamt of my mother |
She was walking in paradise with one saint or another |
And I looked out at my own arms they felt so strong |
And really quite lovely though ridiculously long |
