Thank You For This Life

Thank you for this life that you've given me Thank you for your eyes when I couldn't see Thank you for your love when all I had was hate Thank you for your care when I wasn't feeling great Thank you for your patience when all I had was trouble Thank you for your words when I was kneeling in the rubble Thank you for listening when all I had was pain And thank you for being there and that walk in that rain Thank you for your light when darkness surrounded me Thank you for your trust and your honesty Thank you for your never ending compassion when all I could do was compare And thank you for your warmth and you're forever loving stare Thank you for the gifts only now have I really appreciated Thank you for your time it was never ever wasted Thank you for always doing your best Thank you for telling me not to worry about keeping up with the rest Thank you for holding on when I tried to pull away Thank you for letting me go, but I really wanted to stay Thank you for your encouragement so that I followed my own goals Thank you for being silent so I could hear my own soul Thank you for your support when I followed my own heart And thank you for staying strong that day I broke apart Thank you for understanding when all I did was fail Thank you for telling me just keep trying and you will prevail Thank you for your healing hands they never hurt me, not once Thank you for your wisdom that day I wanted to jump Thank you for your tears and for encouraging me to cry Thank you for the truth when all I wanted to do was die Thank you, you saved my life Thank you for your strength when I could no longer fight Thank you for your words when I couldn't even speak Thank you for this voice that you have given me.
