When I was weak, you were strong, when I felt, I did not belong, You were there. <br /> <br />When I was scared, you were brave, when I felt, I needed saved, You reassured me. <br /> <br />When I was blind, you could see, when I felt, no one needed me, You did. <br /> <br />When I was shy, you were bold, when I felt, alone and cold, you showed me. <br /> <br />When I was ashamed, you were proud, when I felt, I did not amount, you proved me wrong. <br /> <br />When I hurt inside, you felt alive, when I felt, I had died, you revived me. <br /> <br />When I felt worthless, you felt sad, when I felt, I lost what I had, you helped me. <br /> <br />When I was alone, you were by my side, when I felt, I needed to confide, you let me. <br /> <br />When I felt like crying, you felt my pain, when I felt, I shouldn't complain, you told me to. <br /> <br />when I felt like giving up, you believed in me, when I felt, I was not free, you showed me I was. <br /> <br />When I needed you, you were there, when I felt, no one cared, you did.<br /><br />Eric Maffettone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-needed-you/
