Shy

Living in a world of silence
far beyond where dreams reside
sharing hidden secrets with no one
how lonely the life of the shy.

Participation is the fear that makes you tremble
Intimidation the evil that makes you small
Your wisdom surpasses those around you
When you hear angels they hear nothing at all.

Your humbleness is the foundation of your courage
Your compassion the strength that sees you through
Your heart has been given the keys to heaven
and those around you see only locks and no way through.

Your shyness is such a thing of beauty
A gift from God, that's been a shelter for you
If you seek to understand beyond the stars of heaven
What you'll find there is the simplicity of what you knew.

Shyness was your path to goodness
creating in you a character without flaw
It kept you standing forever in a world
filled with detours where many can fall.
