What have I to give you?

The time I was sullen

You did put a smile on my face

I wanted to have a way

The roads did open easily

The time I was emaciated

You liberated me with no qualms

My worries reached at peak

Solace you provided at that hour

The time I pretended and faked it

Like a father you were realistic

Other occasions I failed the target

A leaning shoulder you provided

When friends castigated me

You provided me with comfort

And that time I did fall

You took my hand to rise again

You did win for me my battles

Gave me stamina in life

Sometimes you left me solely

Indeed to make me strong

The journey had been gruesome

Still you never tired in me

There was time you overwhelmed

Seldom letting me fail my way

What have I to give you?

I can only give you my troubles

And no parcel or gift to you

My package is full of complaints

Desires that you find intolerable

Wishful thinking is my persona

Unable to find stance that is unshakable

Rigid and conservative my nature

Livid when things don’t work

I want to seek your way

The joy of loving you daily

Conserve my faith and let me be

Lift me to even greater heights

Make me a winner in my contests

Let my star shine each day

For I want to be the best

Live a legacy to let others live

Your charm makes me ecstatic

Like a child I come unto you

Only to thank you for all that I have
