Thank You For Everything

When nights  

Went thin

You stepped  

Me in

When hope  

Fell out

You quieted  

My doubt

When storms  

Ran wild  

You steadied  

My child  

The trembling  

In me

The part  

I couldn’t  

Let you  

See 

You held  

My breaks

My faults

My shakes

You carried  

Things  

I couldn’t  

Face

And never  

Asked  

For proof  

Or grace

You stayed  

Through cold  

Through days  

I folded  

Through hours  

I swore  

Were too  

Heavy  

To hold

Your light 

Small

Soft

True

Kept pulling  

Me through 

So here’s  

My offering

My quiet  

Ringing

Thank you  

For everything
