Meet Me Here

If I'm not there
When "Pomp and Circumstance" plays
Meet me here
Where I can proclaim, "I am so very proud"

If I'm not there
When you find the one that makes your life complete
Meet me here
Where I can affirm I couldn't be happier for you

If I'm not there
When babies come and you haven't a clue what to do
Meet me here
Where I can assure you you're going to do just fine

If I'm not there
When you are feeling lost and all alone
Meet me here
Where I can remind you just how loved you are

If I'm not there
When you are struggling just to make it through
Meet me here
Where I can swear to you this is the path to success

If I'm not there 
When at last you emerge triumphant
Meet me here
Where I can promise you I always knew you would

If I'm not there
When storm clouds rage
Meet me here
Where I can convince you that blue skies are sure to follow

If I'm not there
When you face hills too steep to climb
Meet me here
Where I can bring to mind mountains we scaled together

If I'm not there
Whenever you wish I were
Meet me here
Where I will be with you forever

  1. Wow! I am not one to cry (ever), but this had me tearing up. So beautifully captured in the repetition in each stanza, you take us through life's milestones and lessons like a country song. I hope you feel better soon, and trust that they will read this one day even if not today.
