This ship was sailing wayward until I found direction
and it scares me to think of where I would have ended up alone.
Age eighteen.
So much to prove.
No beliefs.
Nothing to lose.
I honestly believe I would be dead if not for you.
Maybe you weren't trying to save me from myself.
Maybe you were on your path to self-destruction too.
But whatever the case I just want to say:
Thank you for being there for me when I was at my worst.
I never had much of a family but what I've found was worth so much more.
A light.
A guiding force.
Anchors to last the storm.
Closure for open sores.
I couldn't ask for anything more.
Together rise above.
A bond that's built on trust.
Something thicker than blood.
I will always carry this with me.
For the first time in my life I know what family is for.
