Notes About The Poem

Forever By Your Side

I’d be at your side in a heartbeat I know you’d understand Just to see your sweet smile I’d gently take your hand Tell you all my deepest thoughts From far across the sea All you simply need to do Is say that you need me ... I’ll be at your side in a heartbeat 31st March 2015
