You Made Me Stronger

After all the tears,

the painful heartaches.

The reluctancies,

and the stress we've made.

 

After all we've been through,

mostly all the bad.

I'm thankfull for all of this,

all the fun we had.

 

And when I look back,

and I remember even the fights.

The times we said goodbye,

the tears I cried at night.

 

I'm thankfull for it all,

because it helped me so much.

To be stronger on my own,

to kick away that crutch.

 

To stand alone myself,

and be proud of who I am.

Alone with someone,

to always help me stand.

 

My biggest fear has been,

to always stand alone.

But I'm not so afraid now,

to be on my very own.

 

After all we've been through,

and will go through later I'm sure.

You have been my heartache,

but have also been my cure.

 

You've helped me be stronger,

and it took me till now to know.

That I'm thankfull for us,

even if I don't show.

 

So here's my chance to say,

I'm thankfull for you in my life.

When we're all smiling,

and even through the strife.

 

Thank you for who you are,

and everything you do.

Most importantly though,

thanks for being you.

Notes

This week we were talking about what we were thankful for at The House Of Shalom. I was thinking in my mind, I'm thankful for him. Even if we fight, even if we're mad at eachother, he helped bring out the best in me. He helped bring out the fighter and the believer and the one who can stand on her own. I'm thankful to have had him in my life, even if he was just one of those people who walked in to teach me a lesson and just had to walk out again. He was there for a reason, and I've come to realize that reason. I just wanted to express that to everyone. <3 Happy Thanksgiving (however you spell it)
