You were always there
when i needed you to be,
but you stepped back
to let me see.
You held my hand
when i was small,
and picked me up
when I would fall.
You held me close
when i would cry,
and then let go
so i could fly.
You cheered me on
and let me shine,
and helped me get
what was mine.
You are my hero
friend and protector,
you helped me find
what to fight for.
