There For You

There for you Always my love it shall rest on your shoulders Even when clouds fill the sky Holding you tightly for now and forever Drying each tear you may cry Keeping you safe as a light in the darkness Holding your hand as you go Wearing a smile, helping you to be happy When any sadness may show Sharing your dreams as we watch them together Soothing your every pain Offered affection to last you eternal Sheltering you from the rain Taking the lead to divert any danger Always your shield I shall be Standing your cause for that’s all that will matter Keeping you so close to me Tying a knot so the thread never weakens Clenching my grip ever tight Writing a poem so you will remember Love is with you every night Following every word you have spoken Listening close to your needs Thinking ahead of the problems you’re facing Protecting what you do believe Here is my love that I offer you freely No matter what we may do Forever I shall be yours so completely My promise, to be there for you Inspired by Darren White’s poem “I sit with you” https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/i_sit_with_you_893340

WoW! Chris, Darren gave you some great inspiration. If I knew a guy felt this way about me, I would hold him tight (but not too tight)and never let him go. Romance and love oozes off of each and every word. You are a good man. And I hope your lady knows it. A without a doubt seven and a fav:-) Alexis

You make me smile Chris, and proud that one of my poems has inspired you to write this beautiful poem. It sings, I can hear the piano, and it's soft, warm and oh so gentle. Fav and 7 my friend.
