In the darkest nights when the stars refuse to shine
You were there with open arms helping me be fine
With kindness and respect you held me close and warm
Through the tears and heartache you were my shelter in the storm
Your charm and your support beyond all I've ever known
You have showed up for me making sure I'm not alone
In the silence of my sorrow your presence calmed me down
In your gentle warm embrace my still beating heart is found
Gentle hands that lift me up when I am falling down
Kind hearts ignite my phoenix flight before I hit the ground
In this world so cold and vast in your warmth I can stand tall
Grateful for the love you give the strength to feel it all
Guiding me with wisdom my sister beacon bright
Through all you've faced and conquered you are my guiding light
Your life the living proof that there is strength in all I feel
Showing me it's possible through brokenness to heal
Your courage and compassion in every word you say
You've walked the hardest roads and still you light the way
In the echoes of your journey I find the strength to cope
With your unwavering presence you fill my heart with hope
Gentle hands that lift me up when I am falling down
Kind hearts ignite my phoenix flight before I hit the ground
In this world so cold and vast in your warmth I can stand tall
Grateful for the love you give the strength to feel it all
When the storm came rolling in my flame began to flicker out
You gently cupped your hands around to protect it like a scout
You breathed into my embers and they began to glow
Your gentle acts of kindness have helped this fire grow
Through every broken moment for every sleepless night
You helped this phoenix rise from the ash and once again take flight
Gentle hands that lift me up when I am falling down
Kind hearts ignite my phoenix flight before I hit the ground
In this world so cold and vast in your warmth I can stand tall
Grateful for the love you give the strength to feel it all
In the echoes of my heart your presence always near
Im grateful for your love your voice that banishes my fear
Through my tears I thank you both for letting me be me
In your embrace I found my peace I'm learning to be free
In your embrace I feel secure enough Im learning to be me
