Gave Me Life Poem by Randy McClave

You opened my eyes to a wonderful life
A way that I never knew of before,
You took my hand and showed me the way
I will love you, until my dying day.
You had opened my heart which had been locked
The key was rusted and it was thrown away,
You melted the lock which had secured my heart
Which I had sworn never again would start.
You had the desire hotter than any fire
And when we touched it took me higher,
You used our love, how I once used my hate
It made me stronger, it secured my fate.

I was saved from a life of turmoil and strife
I am thankful that you had came along,
GOD had sent you to me as he sends the breeze
And gives the birds their song.
You made me strong as you released my pain
Never again will I feel the same,
I see no more anger and I hear no more lies
And no more tears for me top cry,
I will love you today, and I will love you tomorrow
Without you I would know only of sorrow,
I want us to walk forever side by side
And when we do, I know that I will be in paradise.
