You were there, understanding, caring

When I felt lost & alone, misunderstood

And so very wrong about past attitudes

So very wrong about all that had gone on

~

You stood beside me, a friend guiding me,

When I couldn't find a way through the day

And all that was inside me was gloom & doom

A feeling of dread that is unspeakable

~

You accepted me, never rejecting me

When I couldn't accept myself

And all I felt seemed to scream painfully

Reminding me of each and every mistake

~

You were there, a whisper of love

Amid the destruction and self-hatred

Like a smile shining into the hurt

Silencing the voice of pain that remained

~

You taught me how to give from my heart

With kindness that could never be bought

Sincerely and serenely, you showed me

What it is to truly appreciate another soul

~

You were there, patiently waiting the time

When I might catch a glimpse of hope

Hope that knows there is tomorrow

Another chance, a new day

Another way to say

Thank you
