Thank You For Being My Strength
Seems never is there time enough
To thank the ones I love;
For being with me; by my side
Through times that have been rough.
For times that I reflect upon
This roller coaster ride;
There have been many shoulders
I have leaned on over time.
And though I've had some twists and turns
Some ups and downs at best;
Just knowing that you're there for me
Has lessened all this stress.
You may not have a magic wand
To banish every fear;
But always through your love and care
You wipe away a tear.
For on my own, I'm only one
Whose logic sometimes strays;
But with your help, I find that I
Find focus through the days.
Your shoulder gives stability;
Your ear a clearer tone;
For on the days I need some help
You carry me along.
For with your gentle guidance
And your love and caring ways;
Each day I find that I become
Much stronger through this haze.
I know that I can't always be
An island to myself;
And knowing that you're always there
Give peace, and strength, and warmth.
So if I haven't thanked you for
The times that you've been there;
Please know that in my heart and sole...
I treasure you, my dear.
