The Courage That You Gave Me

Before our partnership was born
I bled in desperation


blood for blood
my spirit torn
bereft of integration


past & present
interwoven
divided over years


you saw my life was badly broken
guided me through tears


you wouldn’t judge and helped
as this beginner deeply delved


without a touch you held
as I embraced my other selves


and what achieved together
I acknowledge here with pride


for you have changed my life forever
and left me well supplied


with lessons learned
and skill sets earned
you’ve taught me that I’m able


to meet this end
success my friend
for you I’m always grateful.
