I’ll Be There

Until I die, no matter what, I will be here for you always,
In any way I can, I’ll never leave,
Even if there is no contact, as the decades swirl around us,
I’ll be there for you, if you need me, you’ll receive;
Whatever I can offer you, of whatever I may have,
No matter what my status in life brings,
If you are married, I will be your friend; and if you’re not, and I am single,
I’ll be there for you, with open arms, from where hope springs;
To lift you up, to dry your tears, to keep my lifetime promise,
To show you that I’ll never let you down,
To fulfill my love’s commitment, to never leave you or forsake you,
I’ll be there for you, in tattered rags, or in a crown;
You are in my Trust, in its highest place, to receive the things a wife would,
As my soulmate, and the woman of my heart,
This would only change, if I married someone, someone other than yourself,
I’ll be there for you, like I’ve told you from the start;
And even if a wedding graces me with a different bride,
You will still be in my heart and in my Trust,
As a beloved friend, until the end, just beneath my spouse, with pride,
I’ll be there for you, in the flesh, and in the dust,
I’ll be there for you, in the flesh, and in the dust.
