Dereck

Dereck, you've got a beautiful heart

Patient and humble right from the start

When the world gets heavy and I'm feeling down

You show up with s'mores just to turn it around

You're a man of courage, standing so tall

But you catch my finger with no teeth at all

Just to make me laugh, just to see me smile

You make every heavy moment worthwhile

You're gentle and loving, but rigid and strong

The rock I can lean on when everything's wrong

You'll never know just how much you mean to me

My shelter, my anchor, my reality

I'm so proud of you, through wherever we roam

Dereck, you're the safe place I call home

We're blowing bubbles, letting them fly

Watching them float up into the sky

Then we're stumbling in dumpsters, acting so free

Making a memory, just you and me

It's the little things that you do every day

That chase all the shadows and worries away

You're gentle and loving, but rigid and strong

The rock I can lean on when everything's wrong

You'll never know just how much you mean to me

My shelter, my anchor, my reality

I'm so proud of you, through wherever we roam

Dereck, you're the safe place I call home

Gazing at the stars in the quiet of the night

Wrapped up in your arms, everything is right

I appreciate the effort, the love that you pour

Every single day makes me love you more

Please always remember the words that I say

I'm standing beside you, I'm not walking away

So hold on to this when the days get tough

Just knowing your heart is more than enough

A beautiful soul with a courage so deep

You're the promise I'm keeping, the treasure I keep

My patient protector, so humble and true

Please always remember how much I love you

'Cause you're gentle and loving, but rigid and strong

The rock I can lean on when everything's wrong

You'll never know just how much you mean to me

My shelter, my anchor, my reality

I'm so proud of you, through wherever we roam

Dereck, you're the safe place I call home

Yeah, you're the safe place I call home
