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

when two woman go through life together, pain together, family together...these are the words that should be written
always masterfully crafted....(two beautiful ladies, by the way)

It's wonderful to see this kind of love captured so beautifully. It seems in things like books, television and poetry, romantic love always triumphs, but in many ways the love between two best friends is just as strong. Someday I hope to have a love like this.
The stanzas were very smooth sounding in themselves and together, and made a clear picture. Overall, thanks for the great read. :)

Everyone needs at least one person in their life that fills this role. The calm within the storm, the voice of reason, the shoulder to cry on and the hand that never let's go.
Beautifully penned sentiments on a very special individual, Tate. :)

At times, Life may seem so rude that some people would wish it to end... But all these darkest thoughts will be erased by the mere comfort of such a sweet loving friend...
