You Were There Poem by Fab Ricciardi

I have written hundreds of poems,
Thousands and thousands of words,
In so many of them,
You were there too.
I have traveled high and low,
Somehow, you were there too,
I laughed and cried,
Did you feel that too?
I sang at times too,
Wishing I was in Key Largo
Humming You’re My Everything,
And other memorable ballads,
Did you hear those songs too?
Years have come and
Years have gone and
I had wished for you
To be there with me too,
Then the truth remains
And it’s plain to see,
Like it or not,
You were always there with me.
For I took you with me,
Here, there and everywhere,
The journeys were many,
Some were pleasant and fun,
Hoping I’d see your sweet smile again
Some were long and painful too,
Wanting to protect you, make you feel safe again,
But through it all,
Through thick and thin
I want you to know
I carried you in my heart and soul,
And, through it all…
Yes,
You were always there with me.
