that may have saved your life?
there is never enough to say
it will never suffice
but i thank you for the times
you knew nothing of how much they meant
how much it held me together
and how much of me was spent
may our loving Father repay you
you, who imitated his merciful ways,
may he fill you with a restful peace
to follow you all of your days,
and let Him reassure your good heart
that he always repays
may you feel cared for in return
your hand held tightly in the dark,
for times you might forget, may you
receive gentle reminders of your worth,
and when hope feels bleak, may it surprise you
coming bright and warm in its rebirth
