Your Gift

As I sat upon the porch this morning

I dream of the day we met

It was a rough time in my life

I was lost and full or regret

I told you once how lost I felt

And couldn’t find my way

Life was hard and full of pain

But you helped me through the day

One day to another

Each more beautiful than the next

You taught me how to love again

Without the thought of loss

For this I can smile

And greet each morn

With the memory of your life

To dream and this of what might have been

You will always be inside my heart

With every breath I take

I thank God for our time together

The love I lost and found again

From deep within my soul

I found the me that once was lost

And I never thought to find

I smile upon the world today

From the gift you gave to me
