You opened my eyes, to things that are new.
You showed me how, to make things come true.
You lead me down, a road with direction.
You gave me hope, of a love near perfection.
I saw things differently, with your guiding words.
I tried new tasks, and soared with the birds.
I followed your lead, until I couldn’t hold back.
I took my chances, and spoke only of fact.
We see that now, it’s harder that it seems.
We did our best, working within our means.
We travelled time, like a leaf in a stream.
We had it all, until we woke from the dream…
