Thank You for Loving Me

 Thank You for Loving Me

Thank you for loving me,
So purely, so endlessly.
I will continue to work hard,
For you, and for you only—my guard.

In a world that spins so fast,
Your love is the one thing that lasts.
Everybody deserves to be seen,
To be held, to be heard, to be clean.

I know everybody deserves love,
Falling like rain from above.
But sometimes I quietly wonder,
Am I included in that thunder?

I promise I will be nice,
To every soul, to every life.
To the crawling, the flying, the still,
To those I’ve hurt against my will.

To all your creatures, great and small,
I’ll offer kindness, I’ll give my all.
I’m sorry for asking for more,
When you’ve already opened the door.

Still I whisper in the night,
"Please don’t forget me in your light."
I promise I will be good,
In every way I truly could.

Till the end, I’ll walk your way,
Even when I go astray.
Please love me, even then,
Please hug me, again and again.

Even when I fall apart,
Hold the pieces of my heart.
Wrap me in your quiet grace,
Lift me gently to your face.

Thank you for loving me true,
I’ll spend my days loving you too.
