YOU INSPIRE ME
(by Ondrea N. Lewis ©2000)

I thought I was a woman
I thought I was the best
Once a man experienced me
He just couldn’t settle for less

But then I met you
Unlike any I’ve ever known
You made me aware of my inadequacies
And showed me I wasn’t so grown

Now don’t misunderstand
What I’m tryin’ to say
The things revealed of myself
Weren’t bad in any way

You inspired me
To become a better woman
A better mother
A better friend

You inspired me
To give my all to you
As my lover
As my man

You inspired me
To not hold on
To times passed
Opportunities missed

You inspired me
To love whole-heartedly
Unafraid
Unrestricted

You’ve been my inspiration
In more ways than you know
To improve my way of living
And full love to you show

You inspire me
Through words undeserved
Through passion in your eyes
Through affectionate kisses

You inspire me
Through consideration of me
Through love and adoration of children
That we didn’t cause to be

So now through my words
I thank you, inspiration
And I hope to return the favor

To be with me forever
