Your resilience inspires me

Facing tragedies I will never face

Your presence is humbling

It took such little pain

For our lives to coalesce

Finding what I could've found in no one else



You bring me through the darkness of myself

And show me that frailty can be turned to strength



Suffering

Persistence

Such sorrow

Yet resilience



From the outside I've deceived the world

With false bravery

Yet you have taught me so much more

Much more than I can ever teach

And someday you might

Need someone to lean on



I can only hope that I'll have gained the courage

To be there for you in whatever you face

You bring me trough (you bring me through)

The darkness of myself

And show me that frailty (can be turned)

Can be turned to strength



Suffering

Persistence

Such sorrow

Yet resilience



At times I'm carried on the shoulders of a child

I find power in your firm fallibility

My source of hope is seeing that weak prevail

And I'm better able to live because you're alive

I could not imagine a world without you

Where I looked you in the eyes and left you to die



Suffering

Persistence

Such sorrow

Yet resilience
