You Were Always There For Me

Words escape me at this moment.

It seems like the end, yet it is only the beginning.

When friendships are close and dreams are far,

You were there for me.


Tears fill me with memories of both good and bad,

Some nearly forgotten yet all dear to the heart,

You were there for me.


In times of trouble and in times of thanks you stood by my side and held me up.

Through your ever-patient ears,

To your comforting hugs,

You were there for me.


From that first day when I saw you and knew

That you would love me for who I was,

And until the day when we are old and grey,

I will always know that,

You are there for me.
