Grateful

I am grateful.

You where there from the start,

Guiding me forward,

You watched as I learned,

Urging me to open my eyes.

I am grateful.

You where there when I fell,

Offering me your hand,

You still there when I accepted,

Helping me back to my feet.

I am grateful.

Everything was new,

And all I knew wrong,

Everything I'd been taught,

All of it had been a lie.

I am grateful.

You knew so much,

It scared me so,

Yet all I did had no effect,

You wouldn't leave me alone.

I am grateful.

I was blinded my own light,

So much I couldn't see...

Out here I knew naught,

And you saw right through me.

I am grateful.

Your darkness countered my light,

I was no longer blind,

When you where near,

I could truly see.

I am grateful.

I scared to see,

For the sights hurt deeply,

But you where always there,

And so I was able to make it through.

I am grateful.

Arigatou, Xellos...
