I stood steady as a shadow to feel you.
I couldn't see you stressed, I wanted to heal you.
I blew through your hair wanting to make you feel the love.
I whispered a hymn to calm your soul and take your burden off..
I could see, you were cold in the bed and couldn't sleep.
I longed to embrace you and put you back to sleep.
You were thinking of the times I held your hand and walked with you.
I wanted to tell you with certainty, I never went away..
I was, I am and I shall be there all along the way.
I am not giving up on you and I won't go astray.
Your turmoil is mine and your dreams are my hustle.
I know you have learned, I would catch you if you fumble..
You are brave to fight your battles and be as you please.
You would come back stronger and be at peace.
I will be here, welcoming you with glee,
when you come back home to me..
