Have I Ever Told You That

Have I ever told you that

You’ve been my light
In dark of night
You’ve filled my cup
Lifting me up

Taught me to dance
Through circumstance 
Sporting that smile
Acquitting my trial

It was you
You were the one
Who found my worth 
My place on earth
Defending my honor
Regardless who’s turf

You’ve stood up for me
Unquestionably 
Glued to my side
Ready to ride
Wherever we’ve went
We’ve went there in stride

I assume you don’t know
There’s more time to grow
But one day, we’ll chat
I’ll fill you in slow

You see, it is me
It’s my place to be
That joy in your heart 
Everything that you need

In time, I’ll reveal
How you helped me to heal
It was never your job
But you took it on still   

For my sweet baby girl, Molly Lori 11/10/20
