Thanks...

Only you would know how to talk me down

from working up the tears

so late at night.

You are a blessing and light and I

don't know how to tell you

that I'm thankful.

Somewhere between stumbling through life

and admitting defeat

you found me falling to my knees.

You didn't even know it.

But you picked me up.

I can't write this without tears.

I couldn't say it without sobbing.

I was so afraid of being alone.

But now I'm not. I know.

I never wanted to die.

You know I didn't.

I was just so scared of being lost and alone

and never having anyone of my own

that my fear took me over

and I let it defeat.

But I know I'm not alone know.

I can sleep at night

and remember now

that you are a light

and I can see the way out.

I've got so much more to do here.
