Would you seek me, were I lost:
If my heart were tempest-tossed
Would you calm me with a smile
Would you grant me rest a while?
Would you stay with me till death:
Till my final, tortured breath
Would you wipe away my tears
Would you calm my doubts and fears?
If I asked you, would you stay:
Close beside me all the way
Through this life of trial and task
Would you answer, dare I ask?
Could you care for me a pace:
Would you grant me gentle grace
Should I wait for your reply
Here I stand: will you pass by?

Yes, I would since you asked so nicely!!!
Love the flow and rhyme and the total meaning behind this beautiful woven piece. Should have been gold not bronze.

I could never just pass by
I would never walk away
you're a friend and I will stay
I would care for you throughout
all your heartache and your doubt
Just as long as you will find
on your own some peace of mind
on my shoulder; worries pour
that my friend's what friends are for
It's been a while since I last was in here, and mye first actions after updating my profile and adding some of my own is always to see what you've been up to, your poetry is always refreshing and enjoyable

I like this
"Will you still need me, will you still feed me"?
These are wonderful questions of commitment, very human and vulnerable. It gives me doubt that the other person is willing.
