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
