On Standing By

Times-
oh, how they've changed!
You and I-
a story yet to be told.
From the heart,
we've stood-oh-so many tests.
From love to hate
and all that lies between,
the crashing waves
have yet to scratch
the endurance of our vows.
Though we've both known sorrow
and its elegiac cries,
we've tasted joy
and found where true peace lies.
Through the bonds of honesty
our loyalty has been forged.
Like a hammer pounds smoldering iron,
trials have been thrust upon us,
intending to break us-
they have only merged us more.
I've watched you crumble
and scampered to hold you together.
You've taught me tears
and how to touch feelings.
We've traveled through darkness
and seen the light of day.
No one could touch those times-
though they may change-
we shall endure as long
as God reigns on high.
