Poetry: Your way

by E K Stapleton

If I needed a shoulder to cry on
Would you offer me yours
To reach me in a crisis
Would you break down all doors

If I was insecure
Would you give me reassurance
Would you stand by my side
Through every bad occurrence

If I called in the middle of the night
Would you come, no questions asked
Would you always honor and respect me
No matter what happened in the past

Would you dry my tears
When I am stricken with grief
Would you go to any length
To fill me with belief

Would you offer yourself completely
Doubt and inhibition free
If I had just one more day to live
Would you share in it with me

Are you the man I long to see
Walk through the door each day
I hope I'm not mistaken
Please tell me this is your way
