The Words She Wrote For Me Poem by Ray Hansell

I read the words you wrote
A tear came to my eye
But I'm not really sure of
The exact reason why

Maybe it was because you wrote
You'd always stand by my side
That no matter what anyone said
Your support for me you'd never hide

I found it reassuring
I saw it from the start
The way you would defend me
I know it came from your heart

How could I be so lucky
To have a friend like you
Someone who'll stand beside me
Regardless of what I do

I guess you are the definition
For the word friend
Someone who'll stay with you
Until the bitter end

A person like you comes along
Once maybe in a hundred years
If I had to cry from someone's words
I'm glad it was you who caused my tears
