Because Of Loving You.. Poem by Raina Hutchins

I felt my life was standing still
No dreams for me to follow
Some nights there seemed to be no point
In waking up tomorrow

The road ahead grew lonelier
And longer everyday
With no one there to hold my hand
Or help to guide the way

But then the clouds began to fade
The sun came shining through
And then my life began again
The day that I found you

You took away the loneliness
And wiped away my tears
You gave me back my dignity
And cast aside my fears

You're the light that pulled me from the dark
The hope I thought I'd lost
You're the hand that held my broken heart
When life had taken its cost

And every road I walk from here
Is brighter now it's true
Because the best thing life has given me
Is loving you'...

You gave the strength I needed
To stand up on my own
I knew with you beside me
I would never be alone

You always saw the best in me
Through all the good and bad
You're always there to laugh with me
Or hold me when I'm sad

We've been through everything there is
Together we are strong
We've held each other up
Whenever anything went wrong

I can't remember loneliness
Or what I used to do
I know I've learned what life's about
Because of loving you

You never hide your love for me
Your feelings always show
Please hold me in your life forever
Never let me go

I prayed that I would find a love
That felt this strong and true
And somewhere up in Heaven
God was leading me to you

For you are my life's happiness
You're everything to me
I couldn't live without you now
You are my destiny

So never say goodbye to me
My heart will stay with you
Till the day I leave this world behind
I'll only love you..
