Because there was you

When I was in despair
and life seemed so unfair,
you were there beside me,
you protected and comforted me.

When I wanted to cry because of pain
you told me not to be insane.
You talked of nice things
and told me that life is worth living.

When I was angry and mad,
you find ways to make me laugh.
You never argue or fight
then things will be all right.

When I was bothered and preoccupied,
you made me feel that in you I can confide.
You shared with me your wisdom
and there’s no problem I can’t overcome.

When you saw in me traces of loneliness,
and tears were about to fall because of sadness,
you drew a smile in my face
and imparted memories that can’t be erase.

When there’s no one I can hold on to,
and friends became untrue,
you stayed by my side
and guided my soul in a world so wide.

When you felt that I am frail or weak,
you never blow your own horn rather you remain meek.
You gave a hug that’s loving and soothing,
and a few strong words that were all inspiring.

When I lose hope and fell on my knees,
you extended a hand and lifted me.
You gave a tap and said “cheer up!”
”Life is beautiful…never give up!”

When you noticed that there was a great change in my life,
you never left me, you hang around and still stayed by my side.
The more you taught me to face life’s challenges,
because in the end the big prize is happiness.

Life became easy and simple because there was you,
and the lessons I’ve learned were all efforts of you.
You pushed me closer not only to your heart but to Him,

thank you and all the things you’ve shared are worth remembering!

I am here for you

It’s not all the time that there is a cheery day.
Sadness, failures, grief will surely cross your way.
And if you feel you’re always by yourself.
Remember, I am here just beside you!

If you feel your world is roofed by sorrow,
Look into my eyes and you’ll see
There’s a brilliant tomorrow.

If suddenly you walk through darkness
Do not fear. Be calm. Just walk.
There will be a light towards happiness.
A light meant only for you.

If you sense all your friends turn away from you
Hold my hands. Hold it tight
I am here, I wont leave you.

If you cry and wants to shout out your anger,
Shout loud until it reaches heaven.
But hey, utter a little prayer
And your burden will be lessen.

If you think everyday is a stormy day.
And your life is full of rainy days
Don’t you worry, I will be your shelter
I’ll shield you with songs of comfort.

If you don’t believe in yourself
Because other people criticize you,
Open your eyes because there is someone
Who appreciates you.

If you feel that no one is beside you,
That nobody believes in you,
And no soul seems to care,
Look around and I am here for you.

And if you leave to search yourself
And pick every piece of you,
Don’t hesitate to draw closer
I’ll take you with my arms open.

Our life seems so short my dear,
And later the day will turn into night.
The morning will soon arrive
And a new sun will shine.

Don’t fear of growing old alone
Smile, for I will always be your home.
I am here for you
Because I Love You!
