YOU ARE THE REASON

You are the reason why I wake in the morning

The reason why I had my beginning

Knowing I have you by my side

No longer do I have to hide

For when I look into your eyes

I see not my wonderful disguise

I see a reflection not seen before

Yet a reflection I want day to day more

You are the reason why I take my breath each day

The reason why I find more to say

With you I am able to get through

Any and everything I must go through

You give me hope each day

Hope in more than one way

With you by my side

You are the reason why

I no longer have to hide my cry

For with you I have the much needed shoulder

To lean my head upon in times of pain

When the clouds have dried up all rain

You are my shoulder

You are the reason why

I no longer cry my painful tears

The reason why

I have been able to put behind my painful years

You are the reason why I wake in the morning

You are the reason why I am no longer mourning

You are my sunshine when I need it the most

You are the reason why

I no longer cry

You are the reason why
