I will be there

I am usually unaware Of the problems you face All of the things you deal with And your uneasy life But now I've begun to see them Rising up to the surface They are there, vivid and grim Why haven't I noticed them before? So you tell me Of all that's going on No one would really would want to hear it And I sit patiently and listen People laugh at you, tease you They call you nasty names They give you a hard time at school When you've done nothing to deserve it It goes on, day after day Somehow you manage to sit through it all But you are depressed and sad Feeling like you are alienated I sit and listen with empathy As you tell me with tears in your eyes I, too, have experienced this You are not alone So, please, don't feel isolated Because I am here for you I will put my arm around your shoulder And comfort and console you as best I can I will be there for you I shall give you my best advice You are my best friend and you mean the world to me I will always be there for you <i>For eternity...</i>
