Thank Him for Me

Once upon a timeless past
Someone with a faceless name
Opened a door for you
Opened much more for you
Maybe that was miles ago
But he is with you just the same
He helped you to be
What you are to me
Today
So now it's me, and now it's you , and now it's us
But it didn't
No, it didn't have to be
And so when you see him
Thank him for me
Miracles don't just appear fully grown
They start off as wonders
That have to be tended
And nourished and mended
Until they are splendid
Enough to go out on their own.
And somewhere in the timeless past
Is someone to be grateful to
Like yesterday's vine
That made today's wine
Maybe he has someone now
Who's happy that a part of you
Is somehow still his
Wherever he is
Today.
And now it's me, and now it's you, and now it's us
And it didn't,
No, it didn't have to be
And so when you see him
If you ever see him
Thank him for me
