You Were There

YOU’VE BEEN THERE
BY JD Paige


You’ve been there to share my smiles,
You’ve been there to wipe away my tears,
You’ve been there each and every time I needed you
Through out the countless years.

You’ve been there to lift me up
During the times I felt hopelessly down,
You’ve been there to give me a reason
to pick myself up off the ground.

You’ve been there with solid words of wisdom
When I felt completely lost,
You’ve been there to accept my choices
No matter WHAT the cost.

You’ve been there with unwavering compassion,
Guiding me with your intelligent light,
You’ve been there to teach me the values
of this special gift called life.

You’ve been there to hold my hand,
When fear darkened my life,
You’ve been there to accept the mistakes I made
Despite my stubbornness to be right.

No words can truly express just
how much I love you,
And how much I appreciate
every little thing that you do.

Though I cannot see your golden halo
or feel your soft delicate wings,
I know that you’re an angel,
Sent down here to teach me how to sing!
