You Are

So many things you are to me;
I'm writing them here, for you to see.
You're the beating of my heart that keeps me alive.
You're the blood in my veins that helps me survive.
You're the air that I breathe, into my lungs each day.
You're the light in my darkness, which shows me the way.
You're the food I take in, which nourishes me.
You're the sight in my eyes, which allows me to see.
You're the clothes on my back, which keep me warm.
You're the sense of well being, which keeps me from harm.
You're the peacefulness I feel, that allows me to sleep.
You're the sense of honesty I have, for promises I keep.
All that I am, and ever hope I can be;
Is because of the love, you have given to me.
