By My Side

This is another one of my old poems that I wrote a couple of years ago...

The good times I remember
Were times we spent together.
You were there with me,
Watching the birds migrate,
Listening to the waves of the sea;

You were there with me
In the stillness-
Holding my hand when I wanted to cry,
giving me strength and telling me why.
You woke me up each day
With the sunshine in my window.
In the classroom, on the playground,
You watched me as I played.

The first breath I took,
You were there- working your miracle.
Every moment I spent with you
You stood by my side.
Footstep after footstep, you were my guide.

The memories I remember,
Were times we spent together-
The good and the bad,
They were the best I ever had.
