BECAUSE OF YOU
Because of You my life has changed,
In many ways and broad a range.
You've become more than a friend;
What we share I want not to end.
You taught me laughter, stopped the pain;
Brought me inside from the rain.
You showed me truth I should have known . . .
I never want to be alone.
You took a chance by helping me
To see the person I could be.
I know, I'm difficult and wild;
At times, a little, frightened child.
Through thick, through thin, beyond and above,
You've been there with unending Love.
Mere words, a Thank You, fail to express
What here to You, my heart confess.
And though I have a ways to go,
I've You to thank, you've helped me grow.
I see now, I've a lot to give; because of You, I want to live.
I'm whole, brand new, I'm hopeful, too; and it's all because of You!
