For Pete

I turn to you for solace when the world has turned away
I turn to you for friendship when my life has gone astray

I turn to you for hope when despair threatens my soul
I turn to you for answers when hard questions take their toll

I turn to you for strength when my weakness burdens me
I turn to you for courage when fear enters silently

I turn to you for humour when good cheer is hard to find
I turn to you for loyalty when others are unkind

I turn to you for empathy when I’m feeling underrated
I turn to you for passion when my spirit feels deflated

I turn to you for love because you offer it so freely
I turn to you forever and reciprocate completely.
