Stand
Stand in the sun
and I shall be your shade.
Stand in the wind
and I shall be your calm.
Stand in the cold
and I shall be your warmth.
Stand in happiness
and I shall offer my smiles.
Stand in sadness
and I shall shed my tears.
Stand in passion
and I shall surrender my body.
Stand in fear
and I shall be your protection.
Stand in doubt
and I shall offer reassurance.
Stand in love
and I shall give you my heart.
Stand by my side
and I shall offer you forever.
Yet if you choose to stand alone,
I have nothing more I can offer,
nothing more I can give.
For without you......
I am unable to stand.
Alone with my memories,
shall I sit.
(this poem is dedicated to the women I love
and want to spend the rest of my life with) I love you, Mel.
