    Grateful for You

    Reaching back
    To hold your hand
    Realizing
    you’ve always been there
    Waiting
    to be everything to me

    Now your laugh echos
    Reminding me of joy
    Your wonder persists
    Reminding me to dream
    Your sweetness permeates
    Reminding me to love
    And your courage rings
    Reminding me to be strong

    You exist
    within me
    Guiding me
    Loving me
    Cheering for me

    Because I love you
    I am never alone
    Even in the dark
    I feel your warmth

    I look in the mirror
    And see that little girl
    I wrap her in love
    and I watch myself grow

    It’s only possible
    Because of all we’ve been through
    So the thing I’m most grateful for, every day,
    Is younger me,
    Thank you.
