You are my reason to live when pain is acute,
I love you so deeply, I cannot withdraw,
Some people live a lifetime in a minute.
When I recall your sacrifice, my grief is mute,
A world is drawn in every line I saw,
You are my reason to live when pain is acute.
My love for you is steadfast, absolute,
It gives me strength I once believed a flaw,
Some people live a lifetime in a minute.
Your heart is gold, no voice could dare dispute,
My own has shouted truth without a law,
You are my reason to live when pain is acute.
If I could rise, I’d give you a salute,
For you I’d wait, though endless be the draw,
Some people live a lifetime in a minute.
Alone with you, I’d whisper my tribute,
I know your vision holds a steadfast awe,
You are my reason to live when pain is acute,
Some people live a lifetime in a minute.
