Alone I watch,
As I sit.
Here I stay
Ever vigilant.
A gentle hug
We once shared
A soft cuddle or a kiss,
Became my most precious moments.
From youth to young adulthood,
There I stayed a fond memory,
But more I remained
As a loyal friend.
I was present
As the first tooth was pulled.
I was squeezed
As someone received their first loss.
Caressed when the path was lost
Or one was lead astray,
There I was
Here I will always remain.
Perhaps forever will come and go
Without it ever inching close to me,
For here I am for you
For what I hope to be forever.
