Poetry: Always

by Ted Onulak

You always seem to know
My every wish and secret thought
A precious hoard of pleasures
Your tenderness has brought

Like wind through the lonely reeds
Your soft voice always brings me peace
It soothes the troubles in my heart
And gains my soul release

You always give me reason
To love you more and more
I am swept up in your nearness
Like a restless sea that reaches for the shore

You always think of others
And have so much to give
I know I'll always love you
As long as I shall live

I ask you always to remember
That I'll always be your friend
To always walk beside you
Until the journey's end
