Growing
You are like the sun
To me -
You shine brightly
Lighting up my life
With all your joy -
And you are like the rain
To me -
You weep for me,
And with your tears
Show me the depth
Of your love...
And you are like the soil
To me -
My solid ground,
My resting place,
The stable base
From which I can reach out...
And you are like
My food and drink -
That time together
Sharing, hearing, learning -
It gives me strength to go on,
To dare to be alive...
Without your love, I would wither.
But your friendship
Lets me grow
And flourish -
And become more
Than I have ever been before.
