Always There

We met so young 
He was always there 
In classes and clubs 
He was always there. 

As we entered our teens 
He was always there 
I'm now nearly 18 
He was always there. 

We got engaged and wed 
He was always there 
Kids we had 
He was always there. 

As our lives went forward 
He was always there 
We watched our kids 
He was always there. 

We went out with friends 
He was always there 
I was on the computer 
He was always there. 

Met friends for coffee 
He was always there 
Walked on my own 
He was always there. 

Now all i do is sit and stare 
As i look around with who i share 
The faces and mannerisms, not all from birth 
Are always there, for what its worth.
