All that I can think about is everything you did
How hard I laughed and also cried, but knew I’d never quit
All that I can think about is everything you said
The good things even though they weren’t the most prevalent
All that I can think about is how scared you always were
Of the goodness, of the happy, of our perfect universe
All that I can think about is how strong I know you are
How smart and good and able, like my own bright shining star
All that I can think about is the bigness of it all
How much it matters when you have it and, once it’s gone, how hard you fall
All that I can think about is the thinking that you do
How much I know it drains you; how bad you want the truth
But the truth is that you can’t just have the answers overnight
I know that now because of you, I know that you were right
The truth is that you’ll never be too weak to try again
No matter how you’re feeling or how the past has been
No matter what you’ve seen before we began to share a life
The truth is that your strength outpowers anybody’s fight
So I hope for you, I really do, and all the thoughts you have
I hope you take a breath and for a moment you are glad –
-that you have all the things you have in life and that you have with us
That you have safety and support and, most importantly, have love
And all that I can think about is everything you’ll do
If you’ll let it be ok or you’ll keep striving for a truth –
-that is already within you; that you know with all your heart
That’s existed and been with you from the moment of our start
And from the moment of your start, it’s always been right there
Breathe deep and just believe that it’s not going anywhere
And dare to just believe that sometimes life just treats you fair
For us, way more than fair; more like an answered prayer
And instead, look at tomorrow instead of everything you did
Instead, don’t over analyze everything you said
But believe in what you have and exactly what you are
And I’ll believe right with you as I wish upon the stars
