I Am For You

I am growing a garden for you.

One that brings out the beauty in a person,

And shows the worth that comes from taking care of the world.

I am watering it with my tired and unknown tears.

I am making a boat for you.

One that will hold you afloat forever,

And bring you above all that tries to drown you.

I am building it with my worn and rough skin.

I am building a home for you.

One that keeps you safe from all you can’t escape on your own,

And keeps you close and content when you’re lonely.

I am building it with my strong and hollowed bones.

I am digging a well for you.

One that never runs dry of that which you need,

And can give more than what it should ever be able to.

I am digging into my lost and endless mind.

I am planting a tree for you.

One that grows tall so you can get a full view of truth,

And can be cut down and used to build up a better world.

I am planting my broken and silent heart.

I am smiling.

And that is all I can do now.

And that is all I need now.

And that is all I have left to give you.

I am giving.

I Am For You.
