I Will Be Your Pillar of Strength

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

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!!
