But I'll Keep Trying

I can never begin to be able to
show you what you have added to my life...
but I'll keep trying.
How do I explain that you have made me
realize that my life is worth living and to its fullest?
I don't know...
but I'll keep trying.
Is there a way to let you know
how it feels when you encourage me to dream,
I act on that dream and make it a reality?
I'm at a loss...
but I'll keep trying.
There are not enough words yet,
that can tell you what a special friend you are to me...
but I'll keep trying.
I'll never find the way to be the best friend to you
that I can possibly be...
but I'll keep trying

I don't know how to show you your loving heart
or your generous spirit.
And how can I let you feel your sensitive support and incredible validation?
Is there somehow I can let you experience the music of your laughter
and the radiance of your smile?
How do I learn to be a friend to you like you are to me.
I don't know...
but I'll keep trying.

Least of all, I don't know how to teach you to see yourself as I see you through my eyes.
I will always love and admire you.
I don't have to try with that--it comes naturally.
Know that you are loved and cherished for being the very special and unique person you are...
And because of you...
I'll keep trying.
