I Am Here For You

When life is less than kind,
And you are struggling through the day,
Remember, I am here for you
To help you find your way.

When burdens overwhelm,
And you are ready to implode,
Remember, I am here for you
To lighten up your load.

When you are feeling down,
And need a shoulder or an ear,
Remember, I am here for you
To take away your fear.

When obstacles are in your way,
And barricades prevail,
Remember, I am here for you
To help you walk this trail.

When doubts are closing in on you,
And nothing's as it seems,
Remember, I am here for you
To help you find your dreams.

When you cannot think clearly,
And you need a point of view,
Remember, I am here for you
To always see you through.

Whenever I can help you,
Just remember this, my friend,
You're not alone … I'm here for you …
On that, you can depend.

Isn't this what it is all about - being around just to lend a helping hand...and to find that when we least expect it, to be given back that hand many times over...

well done, our Kit...

Kit my dearest friend this is awesome, truly exceptional writing. The words alone would have made this arresting reading, when it’s combined with your amazing skill of form it’s utterly utterly perfect. YOU know I adore your writing, simply adore it, you have the skill to write in a whole range of styles across the board.

You do know I really LOVE this don’t you? I thought you would pick up the subtle and delicate nuances of my rapture. That too is one of the reasons I adore you, you always know when to laugh This is sooooooooo typically you, the loving and always inspiring gift that is Kit personified

Fabulous writing darling heart utterly utterly fabulous

Kit,
PdV is right. What wonderful encouragment and support coming from a true and gentle heart. I'll keep that offer in mind. Eventually, I'm sure I'll need it.

Kit, this is beautiful, you have captured the side of friendship we all wish for, the friend that will be there to listen not to preach the friend that will sit there in silence and comfort with the sound of their breath. Beautiful and really well written, God Bless you and your friends that are so lucky to have you there by their sides.

What a beautiful promise... never-ending love and support. *S* Methinks that even your wonderful poetry can't compare with the loveliness of your heart or the value of your caring. *S*

You always have been and that is one thing that is so special about you. Now that you put it into poetic form ... I don't think that anyone could question it. Boy oh boy is it ever nice to be able to get in here and find you still adding the comfort of the place.

Thank you so much everyone for all of the lovely replies. I'm sorry that I can't thank everyone individually this time, but I'm pretty swamped trying to get enough work done at the office that I can go on vacation up to visit Nan ... it's only a week away, and I've got "miles to go before I sleep", lol.

Big hugs to you all, for being the wonderful poetic friends that you are,

Much appreciation to all,
/Kit

(PS ... Mark ... it's so WONDERFUL to see you here!)
