For feeding me
For needing me
For believing in me
For loving me
Despite myself
These words I write for you
For the woman you are
For the man you inspire me to be
For the hurt and the tears
For the pain and the fears
For the suffering you've endured
For the lonely years
These words I write for you
For the children you've borne
For the one's you did not choose
For the home you make
For the jobs you take
For the game you play that at times you seem to loose
These words I write for you
For the mess you cannot clean
For the many things in between
For your tired feet and aching head
For the road you tread
For the desire and the dread
These words I write for you
For the sigh and the pant
For the cry and the rant
For the pomp and circumstance
For I would if I could
But I can't
These words I write for you
For the strength and the stab
For the truth and the jab
For no more bus and cab
These words I write for you
Stop the cry my sweet
Lay your cares at my feet
Receive my desired treat
My hands will supply the heat
I will caress
and knead
and rub
I'll do it just because
These words I write for you
For no plan B
For the boat in our sea
For our lost beloved
For you
For me
These words
I write
For you
