David

Fifteen years of walking side by side

The greatest gift that God has given me

You're patient with my mother, taking things in stride

You notice when the stress gets hold of me

You tell me just to breathe and let it go

And in those simple things, your love begins to show

David, you're the calm inside my cancer storm

When everywhere is chaos, you keep me safe and warm

You are my heart, my home, my steady place to stand

Through every single treatment, you're holding my hand

I know I'm loved no matter what we're going through

My safe place is you

Through waiting rooms and sterile clinic halls

You've been there for almost every doctor's call

When the weight of the journey is heavy on my chest

You know exactly how to give my spirit rest

You help me not to take it all so seriously

Despite the treatments and the things they do to me

David, you're the calm inside my cancer storm

When everywhere is chaos, you keep me safe and warm

You are my heart, my home, my steady place to stand

Through every single treatment, you're holding my hand

I know I'm loved no matter what we're going through

My safe place is you

When the worries of this life begin to rise

You point me upward to the evening skies

You tell me, "Look at the moon and see its beauty shine"

You bring the peace back to this heavy heart of mine

You teach me how to notice God's creation

Instead of giving in to my frustration

I stop and smell God's perfect roses now

You clear the shadows from my mind somehow

And as I see the world the way you do

I fall more in love, my husband David, with you

Oh David, you're the calm inside my cancer storm

When everywhere is chaos, you keep me safe and warm

You are my heart, my home, my steady place to stand

For fifteen years and counting, you're holding my hand

I know I'm loved no matter what we're going through

My safe place, my heart, my home is you
