I came to you in despair
And you gave me rest.
I came to you in darkness
And you were my guide.
For so long I wandered alone,
So lost, so filled with pain.
And you soothed me, strengthened me, supported me
Until I was whole again.
And you never asked for anything.
You gave freely and never took.
And yet I want to give,
To give all I have and more.
And yet that is so little,
It can never repay your love.
Your sacrifice, your warmth.
I shall always be in your debt.
And yet you will not demand
That I give myself to you.
And yet you know with certainty,
That I am always there for you.
And always will be...
