Lighthouse

I’ve never felt a love as phenomenal as yours,

You have embraced me with your love even when I don’t deserve it,

And for you I will sing from the bottom of my heart and at the top of my lungs,

When I think about taking my last breath,

You always show me a million reasons why I should keep breathing,

 


I always run to you with rivers of tears racing down my face, 

And holding the Pieces of my shattered heart in the palms my hands,

I know that my most fragile possession is safe in your hands,

Not only do you mend what is broken you give it strength,

You teach me how to forgive and forget,

You have taken me down many frightening and painful roads,

But only to make me wiser and prepared,

 

You have always had a hand in every situation I have been in,

And without you I wouldn’t be the person I am standing here today,

To you I owe more than my life,

I owe you the person that you have made me become,

You are like my lighthouse,

When I see your never failing light gleaming as bright as the blinding sun,

I know that I’m never alone even when the sun is shining and there isn’t a 
cloud sight,

You give me strength, 

You give me hope, 

You strengthen my faith,

You are my safe place to run too,

The only person I owe my life too,

And most of all you are my forever love.
