Thank You written between 1993-1997
I used to wander through my years
Without a clear path, alone and lost
My trail marked by fallen tears
My heart encased in frost
Not many friends to look to
No love in my sight
Hoping for something out of the blue
But willing to give up the fight
No longer looking forward to tomorrow
Only wanting to end the pain
My outlook on life at a low
My life was going down the drain
Then with you came the light
Your warmth thawed my soul
Now I had a reason to fight
I started the long climb from a hole
You are a work of beautiful art
As a person you are beyond compare
I allowed you in to my heart
Something I do so rare
Over my life you took hold
Always in my thoughts, on my mind
Out of my life has gone the cold
To all but your love, I am blind
I wonder what I did without you
How I survived as long as I did
You made me look at life anew
Thoughts of the past, I am now rid
I hope you believe what I say
<Redacted> I love you more than you know
And I will love you forever, until the ultimate day
My love for you will never cease to grow
I thank you, <redacted>, for taking this chance
I think, <redacted>, with all my heart.
