The leaves fell faster than I knew
The sky turned grey, the cold wind blew
But even then you didn’t leave
You stayed and helped me still believe
You found the hope I buried deep
Awoke it gently from its sleep
You watered what the world had crushed
And in your care, I learned to trust
Hope’s still growing in the rain
Even through the darkest pain
You made me see it’s not the end
When love and light begin again
You held the roots so tight
When I gave up the fight
You saw the bloom in me
Before the world could see
The leaves fell faster than I knew
The sky turned grey, the cold wind blew
But even then you didn’t leave
You stayed and helped me still believe
Now I will plant what you once gave
And give my love to help hearts brave
For I have seen what hands can do
That choose to lift and carry through
Hope’s still growing in the rain
Even through the darkest pain
You made me see it’s not the end
When love and light begin again
Your kindness grows in me
Like roots beneath a tree
Now I will give it too
The way you once came through
