I Will Sing for You

For Allie

If you ever feel you've lost your own voice,
and the world makes it seem like you have no choice
but to give up and give in,
know I will sing for you.

When the hours seem to stretch on for days,
and dark clouds form just to obscure your gaze,
please don't give up or give in.
Know I will sing for you.

I know just how it feels
to see your dream spiraling down the drain--
when demons don't even have to vie,
because you've already lost it all to the hands of fate.
I remember those days.
Those days can bring about a plague.

But have no fear.
I will still be here,
and I will still know your face.

Trust that I will take the stage,
and I will sing in your place.
Trust I will never give up or give in.
Trust that I will bleed for you.

We all have days that we don't want to speak of.
We all have days when we can't make ourselves speak up.
And on those days, I swear,
it won't be your cross alone to bear.

I like your repeated phrase: I will sing for you. I would like to see it carried through the poem. Perhaps drop the “that” and simply say “know I will sing for you.”

That is not a bad idea. It is subtle but insightful all the same. Maybe i will try "that" and see how it feels.

[Wesley Dingler]

You were right Barrett. It works better without the Thats.

[Coyote Poetry]

Wonderful movement of words and thoughts Wesley. I was hoping for a song.
"But have no fear.
I will still be here,
and I will still know your face."

Whomever will sing for you, support you, whether God or not is a very kind loving person,, and this poem shows this clearly. It show that when one is "down", someone will stand in for you. A very well writtn and relevant poem.
Best, B.

You're welcome!!!

Like this. We, all of us, need a few true friends that will, without asking, pick up the pieces, be at our side when times are tough. Some folk turn to God, I turn to the special 8 friends that share mine and my families life.
Good morning Wesley D

An upbeat poem of encouragement here. In this time of the plague and its isolation, many need to hear such words. Well done.
