You Lifted Me

by Jen LeMaire

You took me from the depths of evil,

from the bottom of myself.

You held my hand and showed me the way.

You loved me, and, even though I had forgotton you,

You remembered your lost fawn.

You were always there for me;

You'd opened doors in this locked dungeon of life.

You are my elevator, a lift from this world.

You lifted me to the heights of eternity

and brought me to where the eagles soar.

You took me from the endless midnight

to the constant sunrise.

You showed me the beauty in myself.

It will never be enough,

but thank you.
