You’re Special

You gave me the spotlight before it shone
and gave me the confidence to carry on.
You kept giving me that important push
when I was down and out of touch.

You had faith in me when I had none
and stayed when others would’ve gone.
Your encouragement was always there
you seem to grasp it from the air.

When my selfishness raised its ugly head
you always saw something else instead.
I’ve never seen you get annoyed or mad,
and your limitless patience I wish I had.

Whenever I needed someone you were there
to guide me through my despair.
You’ve took me beyond how things used to be
and made me stand up, and face reality.

You are someone special without a doubt
and I wouldn’t exist if you weren’t about.
You brought me a life when I didn’t have one
and you ask for nothing for what you’ve done.
