Before my time of prayer <br />you were there <br />when I practiced <br />I saw you then too <br />people leave impressions <br />some of little effect <br />and some have been damaging <br />creating only regret <br />but not you <br />I wish you could have been my husband <br />I wish you could have been my brother <br />or my father or mother or best friend or lover <br />I wish you could have been a part of my life <br />from the time I was born <br />yes that far back <br />because what you motivate in me <br />how you change <br />the directions I look and see <br />scold and teach <br />but never push me out of your reach <br />or throw me away <br />I've needed someone like you all along <br />and I just needed to say <br />although it was a 44 year journey until we met <br />you were worth the wait<br /><br />Lauren B Called<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-and-there-16/
