You Let Me Shine

So beaten and downtrodden

my heart frozen in time

Your warmth has thawed me out

you give me grace to shine.

 

I've called you many times

tears spilling on the floor.

You build me up and lift me high,

what girl could want for more.

 

You've opened up your heart

you've given me your strength

A true friend in times of need

the way that it's meant to be.

 

Your words are so uplifting

your inspirations so divine;

Never wanting anything,

you give me room to shine.

 

You're beautiful, you say

when I've nothing left at all

I feel your words lift me up

before I make the fall.

 

Every day I'm waiting

to hear your next sweet line-

You always know just what to say

to make this woman shine.

 

Someday when I'm stronger

and I go out on my own

I know that you'll be there

to see how I have grown.

 

You'll stand there in the shadow

your cheering so sublime.

You'll be my friend forever

Because you let me shine.
