You Were There For Me

You were there for me
When I needed you
It was you who
Lifted my gaze
Raised my eyes
And you believed in me

You were there when I
Cried in the dark night
Running from the demons
Who crowded my mind
Filling me with fear
And you believed in me

You were there as I
Took my first steps
Of freedom, to being
Free to choose
Life and love
And you believed in me

You were there for me
Through the dark days
The blackest nights
My rock, my sanctury
Always there for me
And you believed in me

Poutprincess he truly is a great friend and deserves the tribute. Always gives me just what I need, a good shaking if I need it, good advice and above all the love of a friend.

Sunny thank you for you far to kind words. I always think that some friends are worth their weight in gold. Particually when they are always wise enough to see the whole picture, and then show it to you. Your work is always marvellous by the way, you are a poet who always writes with her heart

Paula thank you, you are so right to have someone who gives of themselves unselfishly is very rare. He is very special, but doesn't see himself as such. Very unusual to be so giving without expecting anything in return, a true knight.
