You Stayed By Me

A Poem by Krista Weiss

After listening to the song The Best Day by Taylor Swift I always wanted to write a song for my parents! So here it is! I hope you like it! The hidden message is: I'll love you forever and always <3

You Stayed By Me

Every night when I was young,

I'd put my care bear pj's on,

Grab my favorite teddy bear,

Then crawl into my bed,

And wait for you to come,

Kiss my forehead,

And every time you'd lay right down,

And whisper in my ear,

I love you to the moon and the stars

You stayed by me,

Till I fell asleep,

Every single night,

You sang me songs,

And held my hand,

As I sand along,

You inspired me,

To grow up to be strong,

But even greater than that,

You were the best friend,

A girl could have

When I was in the middle school,

I had a lot of trouble with boys,

I told you every feeling I had,

And I'd just talk away,

You didn't try to but in,

You'd just sit there and listen,

And when I had my first heartbreak,

You told me I'm beautiful either way

You stayed by me,

While I cried and weeped that whole night,

You sang me my favorite song,

And held my hand as I sang along,

You inspired me to grow up to be strong,

But even greater than that,

You are the best friend,

A girl could have

Well I thank the Lord everyday,

Cuz he gave me you,

You're the best parents,

A girl could ever have,

And I cherish every single day,

You're always there to guide me,

When I'm blind and can not see,

And you're always there to love me,

When I feel like no one cares at all

You stayed by me,

While I grew big and tall,

Every single minute of my life,

You played me my favorite songs,

And listened to me,

As I sang along,

You inspired me,

To grow up to be strong,

And even greater than that,

You're still the best friend,

A girl could have <3

Author's Note

I hope you like it! After listening to Taylor Swift's song about her Mom called The Best Day I always wanted to write a song for my parents just like that. Eventually one day this just popped into my mind and I knew it was perfect. If you listen to the song, it kinda had the same melody. Ohh and the first verse is about my dad and the second is about my mom and then the third is like both of them haha! Anyways, I hope you like it!! Feel free to comment and review!! :) <3

Awwh, I like that song of Taylor Swift's and this poem of yours is just as good too! Ha. I almost started crying since it's good to know that someone values their parents so much. I take mine forgranted sometimes which is why I started to cry while reading this. I know a friend of mine really do take her parents forgranted and treat them horrible. I tell her that life's too short and that they're trying their best to make her life the best possible. It's great to know that you also think of them as your two best friends that any girl could have. Wonderfully written, and it was a pleasure to read something so beautiful and sincere. :))
