Kelly Deschler Poet Quatrain

Stand By Me

Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong,
You stand by me, so easy to find,
like the repeating words of a song,
always right here on my mind.

Daylight shines and again, I see your face,
night comes near and still you stand by,
forever, with arms awaiting an embrace,
even if stones were falling from the sky.

You're feet never tire, they never ache,
as you stand by me for endless years,
steady and strong, even if the ground should quake,
now I have a reason to never shed tears.

That ocean was deep, but you pulled me through,
and saved a life that was sinking fast,
you just stand by me and I'm no longer blue,
a feeling that I want to ever last.

Because, my friend, you are so ideal,
with promises that stay unbroken,
I often wonder, how can you be real?,
a question that will go unspoken.

Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong,
you stand by me, so easy to find,
like the repeating words of a song,
always right here on my mind.

Debbie Duncan February 23, 2015 at 1:50 AM very nicely said Kelly, nothing like loyalty :) Kelly Deschler February 28, 2015 at 2:26 PM Thank you, Debbie. I really appreciate your nice comments :)

Funom Makama February 6, 2015 at 8:00 AM Reading your pages brings enjoyment and ease at heart. I love your style of craft and this is definitely a 7 for me. Kelly Deschler February 8, 2015 at 3:24 PM It is nice to hear that you are enjoying my poems, my friend. Thank you very much for your kind words :)

Isaiah Zerbst January 27, 2015 at 12:27 PM Your poems get better all the time, Kelly! Those little nuances, comparisons, allegories, the amount of feeling expressed. These would make ideal song lyrics too, especially with that catchy chorus. Kelly Deschler January 31, 2015 at 1:06 AM I really appreciate your kindness and your encouraging words. Thank you so much, Isaiah.

Paul Callus January 24, 2015 at 7:49 AM That is what true friends are for, Kelly! Loyalty and trust play a big part in a close relationship. Of course, it has to operate on a mutual understanding. #7 // paul Kelly Deschler January 28, 2015 at 1:41 AM Where would we be without our true friends who stand by us, no matter what? I think that trust has to be earned over time, and forgiveness plays a big part in close friendships, too... I do appreciate your kind words and the 7 rating. Thank you, Paul!
