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

That devoted friend, sibling of your heart… My son's godmother is the sister of my heart. I can truly attest that I would not be here today if not for her. This is a wonderful homage to those friends truer than family, more loyal than blood alone can create. There's something about the heart of a true friend… a kind of love story of it's own.

[Tate Morgan]

I agree it is that person you turn to before any other

My son's godmother is coming in for the Tday holiday this year.

[Tate Morgan]

that should be fun

now this one makes my whole being just smile my head to my toes.. oh my... word..... This is honestly so dang awesome.. a best friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what.. Someone who knows all your secrets, who would do anything for you, and who loves you unconditionally.. you have captured that so well here... I am still in awe of your ability to pour the heart and truth so beautifully..

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."

-Albert Schweitzer Good Job! Quite beautiful, my friend. This is part of what friendship is. Looking out for one another. I hope your wife's friend's husband gets better. Keep on writing Tate! :D

Just beautiful Tate. It's such a rare thing to find a true friend. It's the magic that's missing in many lives. Amazing thoughts and writing.
