My Hero Now Looks To Me

A braid in my hair, a bow for my dress.
A hand up on the climb, a brace before the fall.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A gold loop for my ears, a Scrimshaw Rose for my neck.
A first leather purse, a plushy down coat.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A tool kit, a set of towels.
A couch, a lamp.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A lacy ivory dress, a silky mint nightie.
A pair of designer bears, a midnight blue ride.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A blanket, a pair of pink booties.
A swing to sooth, a hand to pat.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A beautiful baby, a girl of your own,
A white dress, a christening.
I will always be there for you, strong and determined.

A shoulder, a tissue.
A loving face in the storm, a light in the darkest of days.
You were always there for me, strong and fearless.

A call in the darkness, an illness with no cure.
A drive never ending, a hug to sooth a soul
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A date with a surgeon, a life changing step.
A seat in a waiting room, a healing hand for recovery.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

An angel to be cared for, a tear to be dried.
A passing to celebrate, a friend to honor well.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A betrayal, a broken heart to be soothed.
A child to protect, a time to move on.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A date with her surgeon, a niece to care for.
A time for recovery, a time to move on.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A cottage at the beach, a week in the sun.
A time for reflection, a time of needed peace.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A time of indecision, a time of real pain.
A time of awakening, a plan to move forward again.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A leap of faith, a surgeons skill.
A new chance at movement, a strong hand to hold.
I will always be here for you, strong and determined.

A new chapter on the horizon, a vision as yet unknown.
A chance for peace, a possibility of harmony.
We can meet this together, strong, fearless and determined!
