Stand By Me

Love immortal and unchanging devotion spans the wall Over which we go exchanging our smiles with one and all

Becky and I

We seek a kind and faithful friend

devotions sweet flower

One who will stand by till the end

lighting the darkest hour

 

Love immortal thoughts exchanging

devotion scales the wall

There we share our love unchanging

with smiles for one and all

 

Her guiding hand which proves so sound

my inner soul to see

Oh may no love that's ever found

mean more than she, to me

That last stanza is poetic perfection. Immaculate. This whole piece is powerful and incredibly tender, you are so lucky to know love and to have been loved in this way... I enjoyed this poem very much, you're a remarkable writer, Tate. 1

Tate, you have such a warm and loving heart... I have been blessed with a number of good friends through my life... they move and drift away except they still influence the heart... they die and leave a hole but also good memories... those who still live in the same community call and chat and lift up the heart... we should take time once in a while to and give thaksgiving for the blessings of friendships

This one definitely made me think of my best friend. She's more of a sister, really, as we met when we were 5 and are still inseparable after about 15 years. I consider myself very lucky to have her in my life, and I think that everyone who has a lifelong friend should feel equally as lucky. This is a really beautiful piece that expresses that point quite well. Lovely work!

So beautiful! My favorite part:

Her guiding hand, which proves so sound,
my inner soul to see
Oh may no friendship, ever found,
mean more, than she, to me

Reminds me of my best friend and what he means to me ;D
