Because of You

Because of you I look within me
To find what is or should never be
To see every colour of the rainbow
To know just how far to go

Because of you I learn to be patient
To notice flowers when they're nascent
To ignore wrongs and celebrate rights
To live peaceful days and restful nights

Because of you I grow in confidence
To be thankful for recompense
To seek redeeming features in all
To help the stricken when they fall

Because of you I feel complete
To take a stand on my own two feet
To make a positive difference with everything I've got
To be myself, not something I'm not
