Stand By Me

Like a breath,
So short is the life of man.
Shall   you make this little time of   mine worthwhile?
I know nothing,
Will   you teach   me?
Shall  your  patience  not  run  out  in  my  presence ?
I always try,
Shall  you  endure  and  your  smile  egg  me  on ?
When my vulnerable heart is hurt,
Will   I see your tears?
When they see   me fall,
Will your hand raise me?
They  never  gave  me  a  chance  to  express  myself ,
Will you   let me be me?
Like seasons mistakes always fall upon,
the life of every man,
When I   confess,
Will  you  find  a  place  in   your  heart  for  me ?
Life is all about trials,
If   I fail,
Shall your   cloth wipe off my tears?
With every effort,
Will I make you proud?
They always tell me I am nothing,
Am   I something   in   your   presence?
When the shadows of death surround me,
Shall I   see daylight in your eyes?
When I call   out,
Will you be the first   to answer in the morning?
If   I win,
Will you be my first embracement?
In my despair,
Will you still care?
When I am homeless,
Will your heart be open for me?
When they blame me,
Shall my objection stand by you?
In my struggles,
Will you be my hero?
My lonely heart,
Will its void be filled with you?
When about to fall,
Will   you hold on me strong?
When they see darkness in me,
Will you see light somewhere?
In chaos,
Will my heart find peace in you?
In my absence,
Will you feel lonely?
When they ask,
Will you be my answer?
When I am hopeless,
Will you be my hope?
Will your prayers mention my name?
Will I be the weakness of your heart?
Will your heart choose me always?
Are we to see tomorrow together?
Will my happiness be your happiness?
Shall   my sorrow be your belonging?
Are we to share the same world?
