Your life had been a struggle.
Not enough highs and too many lows.
Why were you given such a heavy burden?
I guess that's just the way it goes.

There's been times when your load seemed impossible.
I couldn't have carried it myself.
But you pick it up and trudge on.
You've seldom asked for help.

That's why I look up to you.
You're the person I wish I could be.
Even when your life seems to fall apart,
you still offer a helping hand to me.
