If ever a tear should happen to fall
And trace a path to your lips;
The very next one I'd try to forestall,
As I touch your frown with my fingertips
And make a smile that reaches your eyes
To show you a love so warm and true.
You'll gaze at me and then I'll return the smile
That I have given to you.
Surely my motives are selfish , I know
Because I hurt when you are in pain.
Only in your loving shadow do I tend to grow
From the seeds that only you could have sown,
It was truly not in vain.
One of these days, you'll turn around
And see the beautiful flower I have become
You gave to me a special part of yourself
And now in my heart
You and I will always be as one.
No matter what life has in store for you
What battles you win or you lose
I'll always be right here to cheer you on
If my friendship and love you choose.
