Not knowing what to do or say, <br />To help to guide you on your way. <br />Wanting so much to help you, <br />But you wont let me, no matter what i do. <br /> <br />I'm in the dark, <br />and hurt by every remark. <br />On you I've leaned for so long, <br />You have always been so strong. <br /> <br />Now I'm standing on my own, <br />Standing against all the winds that have blown <br />I need to be needed, <br />Now the winds have conceded. <br /> <br />I want you to lean on me, <br />Lean on me and you'll see <br />You don't have to be so strong, <br />You have me when things go wrong. <br /> <br />Come and lean on me, <br />A better friend you couldn't be, <br />Let me take your load, <br />With it I won't be slowed, <br />But My burden will be light, <br />As we find our way by starlight.<br /><br />Megan Frame<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/need-to-be-needed/
