I wouldn’t be where I am without you.
I’d still be wandering, wondering.
I thought you would be my support,
But you showed me that I needed to be my own.
You’re easy to get along with,
Since you never talk back.
Your make up so simple,
But I could never recreate you.
If I don’t see you for a day,
I know that I’ll still be ok,
But I need you in my life.
I hope no one ever takes you away.
I was told that you were my best hope,
And you turned out to be the only hope I have.
My mind is more free because of you.
I can finally go a day
without wanting to fall asleep
And never awake.
So I just wanted to thank you.
You never want anything in return,
And that’s what we have in common.
Who knew that something so small
Could make such a big impact on my dismal life.
Other people may use you,
But they don’t see what I see in you.
I see hope,
Hope for the future,
Hope for a better life,
And hope that one day
I may never need you again.
