Looking back at the years gone by,
I realise I was never alone.
Even all those times that hope did not seem high
And all my dreams had been blown.
Looking back at the times we spent together,
Nothing ever seemed more real,
As our friendship took us through the stormy weather,
Even when we thought our fate was sealed.
Looking back at all the times I thought you were not there
I now recall seeing your face.
Physically you were not here
But in your heart I occupied a great space.
Now I look at the time to come
And in flesh you are not here,
But my body and soul are not numb.
Instead I feel your presence
And one day I know you will appear.
I will not be lonely ever
I know you'll be with me forever,
"And everywhere I am
There you'll be"

FAITH HILL LYRICS
"There You'll Be"
When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
[Chorus:]
In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
[Repeat chorus]
'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always
[Chorus:]
In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
There you'll be

I think this is a nice write. I like how you used the same title as the lyrics. To me, the persona in the poem can be speaking of anyone and I like that because it leaves the poem open for interpretation. A touching piece. Thanks foe entering and good luck in the contest
