Left Behind
I carried you over rough waters
I protected you from the waves
I steadied the world around you
when your spirit started to cave
I was there for you
I feed you when you were hungry
with nourishment for your soul
sustenance to restore you
kindness, forgiveness, console
I was there for you
I warmed you when you were cold
I shared with you my fire
I took the chill from your night air
although it was not required
I was there for you
I gave to you my heart
my body, soul and mind
a gift I thought you'd cherish
a treasure left behind
