When I look beyond your smile,
and catch a glimpse of you,
I smile wide and my heart warms,
as if I always knew-
when sorrow comes into your life,
and tears spring forth from pain,
I will be the umbrella you need
to shield you from the pain.
No one was ever strong for you,
I'm sorry it was that way
No one was ever brave for you
Thats why I'm here to say
I want to feel whats in your heart
no matter how long it takes
doubt and fear you'll know no more,
and you know that I'll make haste.
For when you've lost your mind,
and you don't know where to turn
Just look at me, and then you'll see
a heart that truly burns.
For I long to be strong for you
Thats just the way it goes
I care for you as much as I can,
I want the world to know.
No longer will you play the fool,
and put up with those games
never having to believe those lies
and trusting in their names
One by one they let you down
though you chose to hold on.
hold on to me and yes, I swear,
never will my love be gone
I know that love is not a feeling,
Love is stronger than any pain
I promise I will be strong enough
to shield you from the rain.
No one was ever strong for you
but your prayers did not go unheard
they rose to Heaven up to God
on wings of tiny birds
No one was ever strong for you
But my dreams, dear one, are great
I know one day we'll find each other
just have the patience to wait
I promise I'll be strong for you
One day your heart will know
that end the end, I won't walk away
or leave you all alone.

Brilliant
This is a wonderful poem. The rhyme scheme is excellent, it flows so naturally! I hate forced rhymes ( with a passion ), but this one didn't have that problem. It's very melodical, and very sweet. The message is lovely, you have a great heart as well as a great mind. A nice job and compelling read.

excellent
really great write and i didnt think errors are important the message is and it was a great write be proud of it!
excellent work! -
spell check, but good
It took me awhile to notice this rhymed... I like the ideal message behind this, but it needs a little work. Spell check will help, because as a critical reviewer, that's the first thing I notice, especially in longer poems. Other than that, you're doing really well. -
Love it
