You showed interest in me
And seemed to care
Right when I felt
There was no one there
And I will forever be
Owing you some glory
For having the nerve
To listen to my story
Even though you left
You’re still in my heart
After helping me
To make a fresh start
I still will thank you today
For all that you did
I realize now
You were just a kid
Too young then
To be a part of my life
Too timid to handle
My pain and strife
But I’ll always miss your guidance
Beyond your years
You had a way
Of taming my fears
