Compassion, understanding, a hand held out <br />to save me, to bring me to rain, in a desert drought, Leaning a shoulder when I cannot stand <br />guiding me to Faith and to the promised Land. Refusing to let me give up, you don't let go <br />or let me fall when tribulations come blow after blow.. Your effort to soothe me and dry up my tears <br />is like walking me through darkness conquering my fears. When I'm overwhelmed, depleted, too tired to fight, <br />You remind me that even in darkness there is Always God's light. Such a dedicated, true, loyal friend you are, <br />I want to say "Thank You," even though from afar. Than you for being there day after day- <br />If ever you need me; I'll be there . . . somehow . . . someway.<br /><br />Melissa L. Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lean-on-me-3/
