When I look at you
Is a heart so kind and true
One that I can never find
Any other that’s just as kind.You put your needs behind the shelf
To give space to others than yourself
You always think of them ahead
They’re in your prayers when you go to bed. There’s no one else that could give such love
Or peace that gives like that of a dove
You share yourself all that you can give
You show others what it means to live.I know I can always count on you
‘Cause you’ve been there through all i’ve been through
What I see when I look at you
Is a person who inspires, one that I admire.
