Light in the dark

You were always my light in the dark

When things were hard

When the deepest sadness and loneliness fell around me

You were there

Even though it was up to me

To embrace and light a candle

In my own darkness

God knows you and I

Have travelled far over past years

We have had so many ups and downs

So many threats to open hearted trust

And yet, something strong

An unbreakable bond

Has sustained us

Even when it felt as though

We would be torn apart

I think you know by now my love

That you have a special place

And own a big space in my heart

That can never change

There are no more words that I can say

For you express your love

So much better than I manage to

But today I want to say

Thank you

God knows the ride

Has so often been tough

But I would not change a minute

Of the rough

And I cannot wait to see

The life we can share

When all of these obstacles

In front of us

Disappear
