You're my diamond uncut
No one sees your true value
I saw your inner core
And learned your every hue

Shrouded by a darkness
My purpose always I was seeking
You infused a new hope
And directed me like a beacon

There's a renewing of strength
For which I will always be grateful
You used patience and warmth
And your friendship is faithful

I now see a future
With some plans and control
I'll return the favor
You've been my leaning pole
