ALWAYS THERE

Whenever I need you, 
you are always there.
There to be with me, to guide me,
indeed, to carry me over the seas.

Yes, I can count on you,
firm and steady.
Carrying me through the storms,
with me to share the calm.

Safe from the undertow
of stress and the unknown.
Over the breakers of doubt and fear.
Together, we can move forward .

Life is like the sea,
peaking, ebbing, rising and falling.
I need you to stay afloat
to remain above it all.

One moment it is waves 
that are crashing all around us,
Then we find the peace
 and calm that we seek.

A friend, a true friend,
 you are always there, 
always ready to do
 what I need done

 Always ready to go
 with me where I need to go,
 never questioning, never judging, 
just there for me.

True friend, best friend,
you are all of these.
These and much more,
my soul mate, my partner for life.
