Forever I have stood right here beside you In the times you needed most Just a friend that you could talk to When you felt like you were lost. I have given you my shoulder Where you may rest your weary head When your strength had all but left you And your heart was full of dread. I have wrapped you in my spirit To comfort you from the cold, And let you rest in the warmth of kindness While I watched over your troubled soul. I have shielded you with love From the dark and stormy rain, And provided you a shelter To relieve your soul of pain. Now your storms are almost over And your strength again returned You will once more face tomorrow, In your heart, life's fires burn. As you face the world around you Should another storm begin, Remember this one thing I tell you; Now and forever, you have a friend. Terry Woodson ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

Another beatiful poem, Terry~ Who or what is your muse? Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Mariee, My secret muse, I know not her name, for she wants not to partake in fame, plants a tear of feeling in my eye, and these words of truth are what I do cry. Thank you for the lovely comment! Ruth, I think that to find even one good friend is a blessing, so I must be overwhelmed, for I have all of you!!! Love, Terry ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |
