When
I need to talk, you’re there to listen –
Always patient, never pushing,
Quietly waiting for me to speak my mind.
When
I need to listen, you’re there to talk –
Always gentle, never accusing,
Letting me know when I’ve gotten out of
hand.
When
I need encouragement, you’re there to cheer me –
Always uplifting, never doubting,
Constantly believing in me and my dreams.
When
I need correcting, you’re there to teach me –
Always guiding, never judging,
Admonishing me to be the best I can be.
When
I need a shoulder, you’re there to comfort –
Always understanding, never mocking,
Knowing that sometimes even I need to cry.
When
I need a friend, you’re there beside me –
Never wavering, always trusting,
Accepting and loving me for the person I
am.
