Hold You Tight

Hold You Tight

The signs of another ominous day—

With mean clouds darkening the skies,

And when whatever is not going right

I’ll be there to hold you tight.

When the stress of life is bothering

And when no one seems to listen,

Don’t worry because I’ll be there

To forget how to talk, and just to hear.

Was the world giving you the cold shoulder?

And isolating you with their icy stares—

I’ll warm you up with a friendly smile,

And show that you really are worthwhile.

And the times that are too tough—

With all the turmoil that life has brought

Don’t bother dabbing out eyes—

For I have two dry shoulders, for your cries.

And when one hug is not enough

When all that was right goes wrong,

You can forget all your worries—out of sight

For I’ll be there you’ll see—just holding you tight.

I don’t know… I guess I wanted another semi-romantic poem. Sometimes I just want to be a protector – to be a knight in shinning armor and run to the aid of a fair maiden in distress. I don’t necessarily want to solve all the problems, nor do I need to fight off all the dragons. Rather, I just want to be a solid foundation and to just be a listening ear for that special someone who needs me.
