I Will Always

18

I will always…
shield you from the storm
but if I can’t,
I will walk through it with you.

I will always…
protect your heart
but if it still breaks,
I will find a way to ease your pain.

I will always…
join you on the journey
and if you stumble
I will carry you until you’re strong again.

I will always…
share the burden
but if it grows too heavy for you to bear
I will take it all upon my shoulders.

I will always…
keep the vigil
and if the night grows dark as death
I will find our way home.

I will always…
say a prayer
and if you can’t
I will lift you up to heaven.

I will always…
hold on to hope
and even if hope seems lost
I will still believe in you. Still believe in us.

I will always…
stand beside you
and even if we lose it all
I will be with you until the very end.

Always.
