When the clouds were grey
And everything wasn't okay
I just needed someone to
Help me inside
And I guess you heard my prayer
Because then you found me here
And you said
You'd never leave me again
And I was at a loss for words
I never knew someone like you
Even existed in this world
And I just wanted to say
I'm glad that you're here
I can't describe how I feel inside
I can't seem to find the words
To get you to see
I'd never be here, without you with me
I never knew why
Everyone ran when I cried
I guess they never knew
What I was looking for
But then you came to me
And said "I'll always be
"Here for you
"No matter what you do."
And I was at a loss for words
I never knew someone like you
Even existed in this world
And I just wanted to say
I'm glad that you're here
I can't describe how I feel inside
I can't seem to find the words
To get you to see
I'd never be here, without you with me
And now its your birthday, baby
You're finally turning 4
And I see you smile up at me
And a tear hits the floor
Ill always be here for you,
right here by your side
And I want you always to know
I'd never be here, without you with me

this is a wonderful poem
beautifully penned -
this really is beautiful. i wonder how she'll react if she gets to read this someday when she is older. little kids have a wonderful way of making us forget about the big overly comlicated "adult" way of life and help us remember how to enjoy the little insignificant things again that can turn out to be the most significant things of all.
