Stand By Me

Within your protective shell 
wherein settled my fathers spell
i am born in wonderment
and grow in stages, an endowment
Awed by my growth i kick
and feel your pleasure so quick
everything so new around, plea
fine as long as you stand by me.

Its a new world strange
only mom with no change
I struggle within to adapt
and grow amazed and apt
discover new things in the process
doing great as time progress
awed by the world i see
happy as you stand by me

Then i meet another as you
as if a stage of life in queue
she opens up a different world
igniting passion that unfurled
a sensual touch and i falls
into an abyss, enthralls
so like you yet different is she
but i am complete as you stand by me

You leave me for another world
i wait in vain, curled
what have i done for thee
i try but cannot see
then i feel your presence again
unable to glimpse i am in pain
you comfort me through zephyr by the sea
and i feel better as you stand by me.

Yes! I see it now... I was reading in a bit of a rush this morning, and read the other first.... This is so beautiful, Nadia.. Sure to be a winner in the contest!......... As for any correcting, I would probably ask help from you! Lol... I only started writing about a year ago, but there are lots of nice people here who are willing to help.... Hugs.. Arlene
