Renewed Faith

You renewed my faith
With a simple phrase
A simple touch of gentleness
You left me speechless
Breathless for a time
You locked me into your sights
And wouldn't let me drown
You held my hand
Lifting me up out of the pit
The darkness that swallowed
My entire spirit
I didn't have faith
I didn't know what true love was
You told me in a way
I'll never forget now
Your words of wisdom and kindess
Could only have come
From your own pit of despair
And many years of hardships
You've beared
I come to you now
Broken and fearful
You leave me amazed
At the will of spirit
You've given me hope
Something so rare
You told me I'm beautiful
Without spliting hairs
I don't know how to repay you
I'd give you the world if I could
I know we've both had hard times
But you overcame yours
My only hope,
My only request
Is that God give me the strength
You endured with
I hope you can hear this
I hope it's loud and clear
You gave me my life back
With one simple repair
Thank you so much
For telling your story
I have dreams I can reach
All because of your beauty
You renewed my faith
And now I can go
Out into the world
And live the dreams I told
Thank you for your kindness
Your beautiful spirit
I commend you for your triumph
And hope to spend more time with you
Thank you for the security
And love you gave
You are a true hero
A willing participant
Without God guiding us
I don't know what I would do
You renewed my faith
And all I can offer
Is a simple thanks
I hope time gives us
All we need to heal
Thank you,
God bless
And if there's anything I can do
Just ask
