I was watching you sleep the other day and prayed that it would last The peace that rested on your face I'd never seen in the past I was watching you speak awhile ago and hoped that you'd go on The way your words, they had no end Your spirit seemed so strong I was watching you fight the other day and prayed my tears would dry All this, I knew was done for me And couldn't figure out why I was watching you smile a while ago and stared in total awe Was it me who made you shine was that triumph that i saw And all this time you've waited and all this time you've helped and all the things you sacrificed for me to grow well And all the tears you dried and all the pain you soothed and all the truths you had to hide without a simple thank you But I was watching you the other day and I realised that I can't wait to tell you how much I appreciate and love you in every way... written by ~eVE~ ` taken from Chicken Soup for the Teenage soul: Love and Friendship
