Because That's Why I'M Here Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

YESTERDAY I HEARD THE NEWS
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS TRUE
NOW TODAY IS HERE AND ALL I WANNA DO
IS SPEND EVERY SECOND WITH YOU
EVEN IF IT'S TO WATCH YOU SLEEP
OR COUNT YOUR BREATH YOU TAKE IN DEEP
WHAT EVER IT IS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE
EVEN IF IT'S TO WIPE YOUR FACE
OR HELP CLEAN UP YOUR PLACE
WHAT EVER IT IS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE
SO IF YOUR SAD AND YOU WANT TO SMILE
THAN JUST SAY SO
OR IF YOUR MAD AND IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE
JUST LET ME KNOW
BECAUSE I'M HERE TO SHOW YOU I CARE
SO IF YOU NEED TO CRY
AND WANT MY SHOULDER HERE IT IS
IF YOU NEED A HUG TO DRY YOUR EYES
LET ME KNOW AND I'LL HOLD YOU
WHAT EVER IT IS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA GO AWAY
SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK I'LL LISTEN
IF YOU WANT TO WALK I GO TO
WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO
JUST LET ME KNOW
BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I'M HERE
