The Gift

The power of one's voice can heal the sick and the cost is growing old.

You wanted her to have a future
Because that's what she asked you for
So you tapped me, I stepped forward
How I am, you knew I'd help

Somehow she would teach me something
As I was teaching her
She wouldn't realize she did it
It only matters that I do

I was to be her guidance
And give her back her heart
Show her that she was worth something
That she mattered in this world

That she was not insignificant
She had a purpose she would serve
In restoring her faith
I came to find my own

I hope she won't forget me
There's no way I can forget her
Not after everything we shared
Joined at the hip, yes, she and I

I thank the Lord you came along
That he allowed me in your life
You helped me, without knowing
I hope you realize this truth one day

There's so much I want to say to you
Too many words that I can use
I could spend my lifetime doing this
And for others, pay it forward

I'm proud of you, for where your are
So please, forever keep of Faith
The Gift was in the knowing
The Gift I had.....was you

I really liked your poem! Especially the way you split each stanza. Favorite lines "So please, forever keep of Faith
The Gift was in the knowing
The Gift I had.....was you" Great write!
