We Stand Together
When I fall
you stand strong
lifting me tall.
When I am weak
it’s you, you are the one
who I seek out
for the answers,
I can’t seem to grasp.
I know you may wonder
but across your lips never utter,
as to why I am your birth mother.
All the emotions I have tried to bury
at times are strung along the walls.
Oh, you know my soul is strong
and full of amazing things,
but my path thus far
has been filled with painful scars.
Yet happy memories surface,
living full and well,
as are the news ones created and shared each new day.
Beauty, is still what you see
when I am wearing my protective mask.
Like the saying says, “I love you to the moon and back”,
and I am quite sure,
in another lifetime shared,
Our paths have crisscrossed, a definite fact.
And I was the one who had your back,
who shared your laughter,
who held you through fears and moans
of life’s sticks and stones.
I stood by you.
You stood by me.
“It’s what you do”, you like to say.
We never really fail
We never really fall.
We have learned to smile.
We have expressed our sorrows,
shared the love we have never lacked.
As we continue to walk these earth school miles,
We stand tall.
We stand together.
Through it all.
