Verse One: The world is weary of its toll Grieves with each death diminishes There is no shame in crying Tears and sadness fall to the living souls Mood as gray as the sky, which the sun finishes Chorus: Like the horizon meets the ember sky I will be your pillar of strength I will not let you stumble and fall While tears stream down and you're alone. I will stand by Verse Two: Through the darkest day the sun will hide As they bow their heads low So no one will look their way and say hello They wait for promises that never show Going much too far to deny Chorus: Like the horizon meets the ember sky I will be your pillar of strength I will not let you stumble and fall While tears stream down and you're alone. I will stand by Verse Three: Losses are not just those that have died Hard as it is, a heart so ready to believe As failing family and friends are tossed aside To leave and grieve, Slowly collapsing upon their knees Chorus: Like the horizon meets the ember sky I will be your pillar of strength I will not let you stumble and fall While tears stream down and you're alone. I will stand by 10/9/2017

A really well done lyric Eve, especially the verses, although I would have preferred the chorus to be a little longer and rhyming, all in all a fine placement!

What an amazing write my friend! I really loved your chorus, that was an ingenious few lines, I really enjoyed reading them this morning! It's always great to have someone to be your pillar of strength when you falter in life, as I'm sure you know it's rough out there and without someone to help you through it...it's very difficult to go it alone! You have written a magnificent poem, one worthy of a first place placement! Great Work!!
