Today I am alive <br />because of that love that you gave. <br />You fought to keep me here <br />to show me I had a place. <br />To give me something special <br />that I had felt I wasn't worth. <br />You loved me for whatever reason <br />you saw in me more than dirt. <br />I am alive today <br />because you believed in who I was. <br />You fought for me the hardest <br />believing just because. <br />You gave me reason to wake up <br />to try to live each day. <br />I am alive now because of you <br />and the friendship that you gave. <br />Life was cold and lonely <br />before you came along. <br />You showed me it could be more <br />It wasn't always wrong. <br />Today I am alive <br />and living like I should. <br />You believed in me and loved me <br />you showed me life was good. <br /> <br /> <br />2/14/2007<br /><br />Heather Kemper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-i-am-alive/
