Sparkle Return


When all is lost

And you think it’s over

Don’t forget to look over your shoulder

 

I will be there

To catch you when you fall

To hold you when you cry

To put you together again

 

Don’t worry I won’t fly

away when I am needed.

I never have before

and I don’t plan to now!

 

You were there for me.

When I was in need,

even if you didn’t know

 

I used your energy,

I used your strength.

To strengthen my own

Quite selfishly

 

But now I will stay

by your side

To see you through

The dark and bright times

 

Not only to repay a debt

But to be a true friend

I hope to make your eyes sparkle

Even during the hard times

 

I hope to see the sparkle return

Not because of me but because your life took a turn

A turn for the better, a time to smile

A time to laugh and revel in the past

 

Sparkle, please come back to her eyes

You see she needs them to be happy and dry

I love her dearly, such a friend as she

                                                Deserves nothing better, now do you see?
