I’ll Be There

When the days wane long and dreary
And the nights are longer still,
Trust I’m watching over you—
And I always will.

Sonnets of love are sweet refrain
But none can ever compare
To simple vows from the heart—
I promise I’ll be there.

I am your guardian angel,
Together we have flown,
But when your wings grow weary—
You’ll never be alone.

I hope you always understand
That I’ll forever care,
And when you need to reach for me—
You’ll find that I am there.
