You Stood By My Side

You Stood By My Side
By: Ann M. Hampton

You stood by my side-
When times seemed for me to be really tough,
And you were there when life of rme became rough.
Only because you stood by my side 
When during that time,
I wanted to run and hide;
You stood by my side-
When no one else would.
You never left me
Like everyone said you should.

You saw things in me
I couldn't see in myself.
You taught me the skills
To survive by myself.

And still, you stood by me
To make sure I'd succeed,
And sure enough, I did indeed.

I wanted to thank you, 
For all you have done.
I'm a success in life;
This accomplishment, I've won.

And it was only possible
Because of what I felt and yet couldn't see-
Your love and caring
As you stood by me.

Reason for writing:

    A friend standing by me through it all.
