You made me

I guess you'll never know this, I guess you'll never understand
That every time you spoke, you held out your hand
For me to take hold of, for me to follow by
And now I feel so grateful, the tears fill my eyes
You did so much for me, but now you have gone
You helped me when I was low, when things were going wrong
you lifted me from the ground, you held me up high
You showed the world who I was, and told people when they walked by You were always there, to forgive, you gave me a second chance
And I couldn't even thank you, not look at you, not glance
looking back now I realise, what I did but why?
All the things that were said, just make me sit and cry,
You did not let me down, you never gave up, you were always there
I promise you when you return, I'll show you how much I care
I can't ever tell you how sorry, I am for what I've said
I lie awake even now, thinking it all in my head
Thinking of what I did, said and behaved
Thinking of what you put up with, and how you were so brave
You never gave up on me, never let go
Now I must thank you, that's one thing I know
You've made me who I am today, the child with a fresh new life
One who has no sorrow, is no longer filled with strife
A child who is calm and loving, forgiving and now here for you,
I promise I'm always here, when ever you need me, whatever you do,
You'll never know what you did for me, or how you made me feel
But you never ever ignored me, you always knew I was real
You looked deep inside my soul, my mind and my heart
That's why I was so sad, when we had to be drawn apart
I know soon you will return, and I can't wait for that time to come
When the rain and clouds disappear, and out comes the rays from your sun
You light up my life with your love, you light up the room with your smile
I promise I'll always remember, how you led me that extra mile
The place is not the same now, without you here each day
Everything seems so different, in so very many ways
I write this poem for you, to tell you, to thank you for who you are
You brought out my real self again, to me your my guardian angel, my star
Where ever you are right now, and whatever you do
I promise I'll be praying and thinking, of you
I know the day you return, will be full of happiness and fun
But nothing will ever be the same again, things have changed, so has everyone
But never think I'm not grateful, or that I haven't noticed the chance to gave
And how you helped me through last year, how you came, my life you saved
Promise me you'll never forget though, the times we had, the fun
And how we chatted for hours, about each and everyone
How we laughed and joked like friends, until our sides began to ache
I wish times were like that, and that our friendship didn't have to break
I guess this is goodbye then, for a little while
Until I see you that summer morning, when again you'll make me smile!
