U Gave

Since the beginning--when those I thought loved me would never fail me- U gave me hope. When the world felt bitter and cold and I had nothing to call my own- U gave me a understanding. Time after time when I put all that I had out on the line for someone elses' fate- U gave me a lesson. And when it was my turn to ask for the same assists in my own hardship- U gave me a prayer. When I didn't understand why they all seemed to disappear when the lights went out- U gave me a smile. When the bones began to crack & chip apart from all the pressure of the world- U gave me a strength. When in the hardest times we may have scorned each other with fists of rage- U gave me a moment of clarity. But most of all, when I needed that courage the most in my life U gave me prayer. U gave me life.
