Stand By Me

When stars' twinkle
begin to dwindle,
and the moon ceases to glow,
I won’t have fear or sorrow,
as long you stand by me

When the skies fall down
from countryside to town,
leaving us in horrid suspension,
I won’t drown in frustration,
as long as you stand by me

When the world is filled with fire
and smoke of rebellion in the streets,
as people take lives without fear,
I won’t cry,
I won’t shed a tear;
just as long you stand by me 

O, faith, stand by me forever........

...a certain saying goes that despite the challenges we face, 'we should always hold on to the two ropes of life - Faith and Hope'. Wonderfully written.

Thanks for having the time to pass by, and commenting on my work Arlene! I have been busy too recently, trying to balance work and muse. Lol.

You have managed to capture human frailties and emotions and weave them into a poem that is easy to relate to and understand. Emile.
