Can't give up...

I see you...

Still graceful in your pain;

still smiling, living, loving, breathing

though life has tried to stain

and smear your hope,

you've held that rope, that thread

and won't let go,

Won't give up...

I watch you...

That limp I've seen before-

hit something hard, let down your guard,

and lonely laced your door.

You slipped, you dipped,

You allowed that trip

into worry, into weary,

Don't give up...

I love you...

I'm still your closest friend;

Your hand in mine, we still have time,

I'll walk you through the end.

You let your life, your love dilute,

but I am your light, I'll reignite

I am your way, your truth,

I can't give up...
