I can offer you my heart,
I need to warn you, it's been torn a time...
there are scarce and bruises all over,
I may not be pretty, but it always pulled through.

I can give you my time and patience,
history has put them both to the test,
I will ask questions if I don't understand,
but I promise I'll do my best.

I will give you a shoulder to cry on,
never mock or degrade how you feel,
in my arms you can rest with your head on my chest,
and you cry the tears you need to heal.

I will bestow all of my faith in an instant
because I believe in the man you aspire to be.
Yes I embrace all parts of your present and past,
the light and the dark equally....
