There was a time before you
life was hollow
There was a time before you
time itself was a bitter pill to swallow
There was a time before you
I cowered in insecurity
Now you are with me
I measure my steps with confidence and surety
Now you are with me
in every trying situation
Now you are with me
with constant affirmation
Now you are with me
life is meaningful
Now you are with me
for you, for us, I am grateful
You and I are us
your joy is my study, my occupation
You and I are us
our joy is a continuing vacation
