Fearless

Margaret V.Doran

I have never seen you with tears in your eyes
                from fear
I have never seen you feeling death was near
                until today
I shall be strong and hold your hand
I shall not quaver and
I'll smile and with a cheerful voice
promise that I will be here when you awake

I have never seen you contemplate
                your death
I have never watched as panic caught your breath
                until today
and now because you can't, I shall be strong
I shall offer courage by your side where I belong
I'll hold my own head high and fearless
to calm your spirit and give you rest
