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

Great freindships like these need to be honored and adored. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Beautifully expressed! This is going in my library!

The consistency of their friendship is admirable, it seems to be that some of the capacity for enduring love. I hope all children recieve the nurturing they need to grow into such stable beings as your wife, her friend and yourself for your ability to recognise such treasures in life.

This is beautiful. It capture what we all want, someone who will stand by us no matter the problems that arise. We oft forget that those whom we love are the ones who put up with our B.S. Very well written as usual Tate...!

[Nirego]

A truly touching tribute. Once again beautifully crafted and simplistically descriptive, yet with words so powerful and stacked full of meaning.
