Giving Thanks-2-For Someone Special
So sad, this year has naught in life to live.
I find it hard to grasp the thanks to give.
Yet, deep inside I know if I but see
and look through eyes of tenderness there’ll be
a moments breath and loving smile for me,
from one who’s heart was open and carefree.
It’s you so beautiful who led my way
when down and outcast feelings came to stay
and troubled thoughts again led me astray,
through gentle words, my pain and fear allay.
With hope my moody moments you’ll forgive
for memories of you I can’t outlive.
Your fragile form belies the truth of you,
in strength your heart has guided me straight through
the darkened lies of demons I have slew,
and know that I will be there for you too.
So, thank you for the feelings you have shown
when life has left me cold and all alone
for you have helped me see myself, I’ve grown.
This year you’ve been the greatest gift I’ve known.
