With or Without Tears

By: Ashley M Shane

I need you to guide me,
In the right direction.

I want you to be there,
When I need protection.

I need you to trust me,
With each and every choice.

I want you to be ready,
To hear my voice.

I need you to help me,
Through the tough moments.

I want you to be near,
To repair my dents.

I need you to hold me,
When I need to be loved.

I want you to be around,
When I get shoved.

I need you to be my mom,
For the rest of my years.

I want you to be with me,
With or without tears.
