Because You Loved Me

Because you loved me . . .
Life seemed more enjoyable
I apprieciated the true beauty of living
I had life long friends
I had a best friend
I tried new things
I became more open

Because you loved me . . .
The world spinned easier
I was a good sister, friend, daughter
I listened to peoples probles
I listened to peoples hearts
I apprieciated everything around me

Because you loved me . . .
There was something worth living for
I tried different things
I was easier to talk to
I loved the simple things in life
I learned to give without reward

Because you loved me . . .
I felt right in the middle
I enjoyed the beauty of just being me
I learned everything was worth having
I tried new things
I never gave up

Because you loved me . . .
Life was a better place
I learned to listen
I learned to give and recieve with more thanks
I learned about love
I learned from experiences
I learned to cry

Because you loved me . . .
The days became special
I looked forward to tomorrow
I learned love and repect shouldn't be taken for granted
I learned how to be open
I got others to be open

Because you loved me . . .
I loved my family
I didn't become to the only one in this world
I learned to revolve around others
I followed in other peoples foot steps
And people learned from mine

All because you loved me
