You

You


You’ve always been there,
Right there by my side,
Sharing my highs and
Particularly my lows.
When I was happy,
You were content
To just watch me celebrate
And take part in my rejoicing.
But never were you happy,
When I was unhappy.
Never content until you knew
Just what it was
That hurt me so,
And what you could do to cheer
And bring a smile to my face.

When I was sad and low
You shielded me
In the circle of your rms.
When I cried,
‘Twas your shoulder.
Your shoulder was the one
That lightened my load,
Unheedful of your own.
Your hands holding mine
Helped me rise
From all falls,
Like a phoenix
From its mothers ash.
Yet now,
You’re so far away.
I’m doubtful if my voice
Even reaches your ears.
And if does,
Let it say,
“Thanks for all.”
