Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

There For Me

When I am in need you walk beside me, 
  when my dreams have fallen by the wayside.
You gently pick up the pieces.
If the heart is, in sorrow, 
 You mend it together. 
You are, my eternal guiding light
Shining in my darkest hour.
You are there to lead me
In my daily life.

When I am weary and discouraged,
   and  the heart aches. 
You gently place your hand in mine
  giving it love and strength.
Guiding  me on my way,
   no longer thirsty.
     we hold hands
        in silence.

Andrea Dietrich August 25, 2011 at 2:14 AM Phyllis, this is wonderful, sweetie. I am happy that you posted a new poem for me to see here tonight. I sure wish I saw more of them from you! My poem the Perfect ONe, reminds me of this person you wrote of here. The subject of my poem does not exist so far as I know. Is this one made up in your poem or is it real?
