Even When
She was there for me,
In times of low-tide, a rock of ages
In times of uncertainty, doubt
And weakness.
When everyone else has given up and
Justified their dismissal,
Even when I put you through the paces and
Society has let me down
You continue to rein me in, ever so diligently
Your loyalty and love is never wavering.
My life is permanently altered and
Changed by your unselfish actions,
Where the many threw up their hands,
You threw then out— you held them out,
Your love is pure, unyielding and
Powerful— a true testament to others
About this poem
