My life has not been easy
hard times I've seen my share,
through trials and tribulations,
you were always standing there.

You lent an ear, and gave a hand,
and always seemed to understand.

At times when I was torn and weak,
and could not bear the stress,
you always gave your all to me
never any less.

To you I'm always grateful for all that we have shared,
for standing right beside me showing that you cared.
