Self-confidence 03-08-04 He hadn’t seen me In five to ten years And we hugged each other hello And he asked me, “Have I gotten shorter?” And I was saying earlier That he was taller than me Back in the old days But I guess he DID seem shorter So I said, “I don’t know.” But I knew that I didn’t get taller So he said, “Maybe you slouched a lot more When I saw you before.” And I though, “Well, maybe. I have a lot more self-confidence now. I stand up for myself now.” Copyright Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved. No material may be reprinted without express permission.
