You Cleaned Up My Dirty Past

Can I speak so true and free
About all you have done for me
You gave my life a new meaning
Like you did a thorough cleaning
Of my past --threw it away
So I know that a new day
Will begin and start with you
There is nothing you won't do
To prove how much love you will
Give me to climb up a hill
Right up to the very top
Where you'll catch me if I drop
Into my past memories
Thinking of the history
That has kept me in turmoil
Leaving my heart full of soil
From all the abuse I took
But then I just have to look
Into your eyes and I will break
Out of this haze--glad to take
All the love you want to give
So I can and always live
With a new hope and this joy
Since you became my savior boy

Nicely written about someone who has done more than just a janitorial task for you. Good descriptiveness and rhyming here.
