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

[Kristallo]

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

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A touching and sober moment we all appreciate in the best respects.

Very well written. Speaks to the grounding effect that anything "lifelong" can strengthen us with.

[Sarah Redigan]

Another amazing write my dear Tate u never cease to impress me

i have discovered over the years that i have but one true lifelong friend....i suppose that is fortunate in itself. i love iris dement...she does a song with john prine called "in spite of ourselves" which is great! this is a terrific write and a wonderful tribute to friendship. i bet Rebecca smiled her tail off when she read this!

[Tate Morgan]

Rebbeca smiled wide. Her friend helped her recently in a tradgedy that I could only say would have broken the heart of a saint. I was so thankful Becky had Theresa

[quinfinn]

i'll just bet you both were so relieved and happy to have her friendship!

[Jack...]

Very nice and hits home. Freindship is the key that unlocks everything in life.

[David Scott]

I have had good friends and I have lost good friends... sometimes by no fault of my own and sometimes by my own lack of character. Nothing can buy the comfort of a true friend...
A great poetic definition of friendship.
