You

You are always there

Even when I am lost

You come and find me

To bring me home

When I feel low

And not worthy

You smile at me

And tell me you love me

When life gets too much

You take my hand

And sit me down

 Tell me to rest

When I am weary

And can’t go on any longer

You give me the strength

To continue the journey

When I am scared

And not wanting to be alone

You show up at my door

And invite yourself in

When I feel insecure

And doubting in myself

You tell me it is ok

You are by my side

When I was broken

You patched me up

And I know if I break again

You will do the same

You are always there

Just at the right time

Even when all I need is a hug

Your arms are open wide
