I didn't know what to say when you started talking,
I could feel the pain even as your mouth kept moving
I was sad for a million reasons
But you being sad and wanting to give up was the one that caused the bleeding.

For so long you had been the light that showed me the way
Even though I don't admit it, I am lost when you are away
Little by little I find my way around the dark just because you showed me a way
But now you are down, hurt and in doubt and all I can do is pray.

When I heard you say those words I knew I needed to be the light
As you have been for days unnumbered
It was my turn to be your guide
To make you remember,
But like a baby lamb trying to stand
I failed on my first try.

So I did what I knew how to do
I searched and found our memories.
I found the words you inspired out of me
And as tears roll down my eyes I just want to say, please…

Remember and don't give in.
As your light has inspired me
Share it with him
Don't give up on him.

Remember and don't give in.
As your love was the light that inspired me
Spread this love to his heart also
Be the pillar that you were to me
So that others like me can hold onto you
And be reassured that they will never stagger or fall

So don't give in
Stand firm as the pillar you are
Shine brighter than the darkness around
The world and those around need you
For the light and strength, you carry
Brings hope to their hearts and faith to their soul.

I leave you with these words
Just to remind you of who and what you are…
