Because there was you

When I was in despair

and life seemed so unfair,

you were there beside me,

you protected and comforted me.

When I wanted to cry because of pain

you told me not to be insane.

You talked of nice things

and told me that life is worth living.

When I was angry and mad,

you find ways to make me laugh.

You never argue or fight

then things will be all right.

When I was bothered and preoccupied,

you made me feel that in you I can confide.

You shared with me your wisdom

and there’s no problem I can’t overcome.

When you saw in me traces of loneliness,

and tears were about to fall because of sadness,

you drew a smile in my face

and imparted memories that can’t be erase.

When there’s no one I can hold on to,

and friends became untrue,

you stayed by my side

and guided my soul in a world so wide.

When you felt that I am frail or weak,

you never blow your own horn rather you remain meek.

You gave a hug that’s loving and soothing,

and a few strong words that were all inspiring.

When I lose hope and fell on my knees,

you extended a hand and lifted me.

You gave a tap and said “cheer up!”

”Life is beautiful…never give up!”

When you noticed that there was a great change in my life,

you never left me, you hang around and still stayed by my side.

The more you taught me to face life’s challenges,

because in the end the big prize is happiness.

Life became easy and simple because there was you,

and the lessons I’ve learned were all efforts of you.

You pushed me closer not only to your heart but to Him,

thank you and all the things you’ve shared are worth remembering!
