I Am Not Going Away

Whenever trouble seems to follow you,
when you have days of dismay,
just remember that I am right here;
I am not going away.

Whenever worry starts to overwhelm you,
whenever things are just not okay,
always know that I am right here.
I am not going away.

When the proverbial clouds are overhead
and things appear dark, dank and gray,
just know that I am right here beside you.
I am not going away.

Whenever you are filled with doubts,
and don't really know what to say,
never question my devotion to you.
I am not going away.

When your world seems to be crumbling
and your life is in complete disarray,
take solace in knowing I will never leave you.
I am not going away.

And years from now when my light is fading
and all we can do is hope and pray,
always know that in this world and the next,
I will always be with you, and never go away.

Thank you, Beryl. That phrase was something I often said to my girlfriend in the first few years of our relationship. That girlfriend has now been my wife for the last 25 years. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Take care. Jim
