The Way You Are
I love the way you give your time...
Never too busy to listen and smile.
You seem to understand my heart...
Even before I tell you my thoughts.
I love the way you encourage my dreams...
Awakening my enthusiasm and energy.
You always give me reason to believe...
That I am capable of anything I conceive.
I love the way you accept who I am...
Even when you don’t really understand.
You have the patience of one who is blessed...
With a spirit of tolerance, kindness and strength.
I love the way you hope beyond failures...
Giving those around you incentive to keep trying.
You always brush away the tears from a mistake...
Whispering reassurance with everything you say.
I love the way you make me feel safe...
When I can’t seem to overcome the fear.
You have a way of making me strong...
When my weakness has left me feeling wrong.
I love the way you tend to reach beyond my pain...
Into the depths of my heart’s yearning for what is sane.
You remind me that love is alive, hope survives...
And faith will sustain me through the worst of times.
I love the way you can take my worst disillusionment...
And turn it into something bordering on enthusiasm.
You always help me to endure the worst there is...
And find the good in those things I never would have.
I love the way that you have been my best friend...
Thank you...
