For Good.

"I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason...bringing something we must learn.

***

And we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return.

Well I don't know if I believe that's true. But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you. 

***

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But...because I knew you, I have been changed for good. 

***

It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime.. so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you. 

You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. 

And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend. 

***

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But, because I knew you, I have been changed for good. 

***

And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for. 

But I guess we know there's blame to share and none of it seems to matter anymore. 

***

Like a comet pulled from orbit.

Like a ship blown from it's mooring.

Like a stream that meets a boulder.

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird.

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

.....I do believe I have been changed for the better.

And because I knew you...

...because I knew you...

...because I knew you...

...I have been changed for good."
