For my angel
Life left me a bad taste in the mouth, 
But you made me laugh,
And so I forgot the taste.
Mornings used to bring me death of a thousand cuts,
But you made me smile each morning,
And now I look forward to each day of my life.
The past haunted me and tormented me with pain,
But you held my hand through the course of my journey.
Now my days are full of the joys of spring.
I had anxiety-filled sleepless nights,
In anticipation of what could go wrong.
But you kissed me before I sleep.
Now I sleep and I see you in my dreams.
I was a slave of fear, it was crippling.
But your sweet embrace brought warmth and security.
Now I’ve learned to fight a good fight.
I’ve been pretending to be strong, though I trip and fall a lot of times.
I still try to stand upright.
But you carried me as I walk,
Now I’m not afraid to be weak,
For you are now my strength.
Love is made perfect in weakness,
Together we fill each others shortcomings,
Together we will praise the Lord.
Every morning I’ll wake up looking at your face.
And in your arms I am certain.
