Lean On Me

Author: Steven D. Robles

My sweet angel, my darling, my dear,
Your sadness and sorrow is ever so near.
I see your smile so bold, so brave. 
I see your pain so dark so grave. 

You grieve, you mourn, a love that’s Past.
Over your life its pall has cast,
Like so many outstanding and unpaid debts. 
So many mistakes and so many regrets!

You carry with you an endless spate,
Of sorrow, remorse and self-hate!
A brave woman who stands alone,
Who longs to lean, but can’t go home.

I can help to bear all that weight,
I’ll pull you from this dreary state. 
Come, lean on me! As you take each stride;
My back is broad, my shoulders wide.

I can hold you and shoulder this heavy cross.
To me you’d be no Albatross!
Always know that I’m at your side.
My back is broad, my shoulders wide.

Perhaps in time you’ll come to see
That my love and devotion is a sturdy tree,
And then with love and deep affection 
We begin a life of loving perfection.

So come, hold on with all your might!
Like a stallion I’ll bear you through the night,
Into the daybreak on the other side.
My back is broad, my shoulders wide.
