Here Always

I stopped by today to tell you
That you were never alone
I wanted you to hear this
So no one else could lead you wrong
All those nights you lie awake
Believe me I was there
I was the fly upon the wall
The gentle breeze brushing through your hair
I was the silence that you prayed to
The darkness that hid your fears
I was the blanket that kept you warm
The gentle hand that wiped your tears
I was the pillow that gave you comfort
When the night felt so alone
I was the angel there who kept you safe
The protector of your home
I was the familiar sounds of night
The ones you grew to know
I was the stars that shined so bright each night
Inside your bedroom window
I was the mighty oak that stood close by
My roots could not be breached
I was the kiss of love you felt each night
Before you went to sleep
I was the shoulder there for you to lean
When things seemed out of hand
I was the forceful sound of your inner voice
Screaming out YES you can
I was the dream that gave you courage
To fight another day
I was the voice of reason that held you
And encouraged you to stay
I was the thought that made you smile
While everyone would stare
I was the wonder that made them wonder
Why you were smiling there
I was the past that you once lived
The future that's yet to come
I am the here and now that knows no bounds
The love in which I'm from
And through life I will remain
A simple breathe away
No need to ever look for me
I’m here always to stay
