I AM

I am, because you were
Because of who you are
I am a better person
Because you helped me to go far
I hope to be as brave
I hope to be as strong
To always feel your presence
Everyday, as I go on
I hope to be as caring
To be as I remember you
You were the wind beneath my wings
I know this to be true
I am, because you were
And you always will be
The person who made a difference
And made me, a better me
