Powerless Without You

Powerless... 

Powerless, without you.

A warm summer's evening, 

A cold winter's day, 

It does matter the season or even the time of day. 

All I need is my hope.

But, my hope is found in you.

I could take someone else, 

But no one else will ever do. 

A protection of a father, 

A care like a mother,

But with you, my dear brother, 

You carry bits of them all within you.

You inspire, 

You encourage. 

You hope and aspire. 

You challenge me daily to bloom and always be a trier 

I learn from your mistakes,

You protect me from heartache.

But with you by my side, 

It doesn't matter what is going on outside. 

I would bring you on a deserted island.

Not because of strength,

not because I fear. 

But really it's because I hold you most dear.
