You are My Hero

You are my hero
With your grace and charm and ease.
The million little things you do;
The opportunities you seize.

You are a rock I can cling to
When storms battle my shores.
You are the twinkle in darkened nights,
And the boat that carries me;
And my ill-used oars.

In time the receding tempest
Will eventually come to pass
And you'll still be holding me
The worst of winds you help me to outlast.

You are my hero
In every shape and form.
You rescue me from myself
My bitterness and scorn.

And for it no medal
to wear with pride and cheer;
but my arms will wrap around you
and hold you ever near.
