The Shelter

Don't judge me for my slips 'cause it will do you nothing
Kiss me for the present and embrace me for the future
You'll need me when you're down, 
And I shall be with you in your worst

Don't just count how many times I stumbled 
Count also how many times I sheltered you from the rain 
And how many times I extended my arms 
So you could walk against the wind
