When I First Saw You

When I first saw you
I knew
that  I wanted to be
the one
to raise you up.

I never thought I
could love
someone so much that
I wanted 
to share my strength
when things get
rough.

It is amazing when I
think of how we 
have grown together
taking it step
by each step knowing
love is enough.

Being satisfied in
the company of each
other 
not wanting things,
just nurturing this
true
love for when things
get tough.



I never thought I
could love
someone so much that
I wanted 
to share my strength
when things get
rough.

It is amazing when I
think of how we 
have grown together
taking it step
by each step knowing
love is enough.




Understanding that 
we are to love each
other
and what that means,
not giving up when
the rough times come
rolling in rather
holding tighter.
