Strong At Your Side Poem by Danny Speicher

Since you departed, I’ve watched over you
From many miles with many eyes trained
Naught speaking a word nor hoping to gain
A second chance back to your heart so true

Yet I watched you and, for you, each day prayed
That the dreams you once dreamt and shared with me
Would take flight someday and that you might see
How I saw you each and every day

The one who finally captured your heart
Was better than I could have ever been
I knew I could stop protecting you when
He gave you the ring and the journey starts

Yet, if e’er you need me you can find me
Strong at your side if you need me to be
