BUILT LIKE LOVE

He didn’t wear a cape,
but he saved me just the same—
with a full heart,
quiet strength,
and a presence that never let me feel alone.

He didn’t chase applause,
but he earned my deepest praise—
by showing up,
day after day,
in a thousand quiet ways.

He spoke no sermons,
but he led me through the fight—
with thunder all around,
he moved like quiet light,
his purpose burning bright.

He built me—
not with bricks,
but with belief.
Not with noise,
but with knowing
when I needed relief.

He was built like love—
not loud,
but lasting.
Not perfect,
but present.
Not flashy,
but forever.

And if I ever shine,
it’s because he believed in me.
If I ever rise,
it’s because he never let me fall.
