You gave me the Universe

I was weak and you gave me strength,
I was sick and you made me well,
I was lost and you helped me find my way,
I couldn't speak and you were my voice,
I was down and you helped me up,
I didn't know how to cry and you gave me tears,
I was cold and you gave me warmth,
I was alone and you gave me friendship,
I was scared and you gave me courage,
I was in trouble and you helped me out,
I was in the dark and you shined a light,
I was confused and you helped me understand,
I was lifeless and you gave me existence,
I couldn't reach and you lifted me up,
I cried and you made me smile,
I was discouraged and you gave me hope,
I wanted to quit but you kept me going,
I stumbled but you wouldn't let me fall,
I needed love and you gave me yours,
I wanted the stars and you gave me the universe.
