Whatever It Takes

I don’t want to see you cry, my dear

I want those tears to fade

I’m going to help your head stay high

Through good, through bad, through worse

 

You’ve been my rock, the love of my life

You've sustained me through thick and thin

Now I want to hold your hand in mine

So now I can bring you in

 

Because it hurts to see you downhearted

And I don’t know what to do

Sometimes I can make you smile

But sometimes its hard for me too

 

I try to remove your burdensome load

Make it light as I possibly can

Take steps to make your pathway clear

So you can get to the end

 

I’ll take my stand in front of you

A chess pawn before her king

No one touches a hair on your head

Without first going through me

 

I’ll be a burro for your burden

A filter for your pain

I’ll find the ways to make you smile

To make you happy again

 

I don’t want to see you hurt, my dear

I want the hurt to fade

I’m going to help your head stay high

No matter what it takes

who is it about?

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Truly an inspirational piece. After reading such things I had no choice but to trust you. lol. There are strong "in your face" emotions throughout, but you chose to use those emotions to uplift instead of destroy. This poem is the quintessential definition of loyalty. 100(+1) This type of devotion saves lives. This poem is not only gentle. There are themes of tough love as well. I loved it.

One reading it a feeling of security
Shrouds me all over….
I feel confident..as if I were the protagonist…of the story…

Oh the burden of caring! And you have captured it here. Love and all of its emotional ups and downs but love when hurt comes and we can do little but hold hands and take the brunt of misplaced anger - that hurts.
I feel you've captured a scene from everyone's life - and frankly if someone has not experienced this I'm sorry for them. Very well done.
