You Catch Me

[tmonfort]

I stumble, fall
You catch me
For 20 years you,
In your quiet strength
Have watched me grow,
Watched me trip on
Bumps along the road
And yet you stay, allowing
The path of life to teach
Helping along the way
Pointing out missed road signs
As I traversed the pathway

Fights along the way
We had our share
And yet, when I gave up on myself
You were there to remind me
That anything I wanted
Was within my grasp
And as I continue on my journey
I know that you,
Standing, strong as always
Will still be there, loving

For 20 years,
Refusing to understand what has been done
I now know how strong you have made me
So thank you
For my life, my love
My safety, my joy
I stumble, fall
You catch me.
