Like a Vine Growing On a Wall
When trouble haunts my every move
and tongues wag at me to disapprove
of all the things I've done or didn't do,
you are the one who sees me through.
You are like a vine growing on a wall,
the reason why I never crumble and fall,
the ally whose arms keep me standing
when tragedies in life are too demanding.
A smile from you when you hold my hand
lets me know that you really understand
that what I need is just someone to listen
when the tears in my eyes begin to glisten.
You are the friend who keeps me strong
when things in my life go miserably wrong.
We support each other so neither can fall.
You are like a vine growing on a wall.
The idiom, "Like a vine growing on a wall," refers to a bonding friendship between two people. The wall provides a foundation to which the vine clings and grows. The vine strengthens the wall by forming a kind of web to hold it together.
