If I could give you just one thing
One glimmer of hope in your despair
I'd want you to know, just how badly
I wish I could be there.

I know the things you're going through
And see the great depths of pain
Please trust me when I say to you
That sunshine follows after rain.

Don't think I mean to say it's easy
Or that these burdens soon shall pass
Unfortunately, the lot we've been dealt
Is like walking miles on broken glass.

It seems most days that you worry most
About putting these pressures on me
But please, remember, it's why I'm here
To deal with other's needs.

Since the day that I was born
You've watched and helped me grow
The depth of love and appreciation I have
I doubt you'll ever know.

You may believe it's still your job
To protect me from all alarm
But I swear to you with all I am
I won't allow you any harm.

No matter what more we must face
Together or apart
We'll face it head on, fearlessly
With one mind and one heart.
