Being There Poem by EZEKIEL HARUNA DANBAKI

When nothing goes just right
As it sometimes will
When all is lost and gone
And you are all alone
When your heart is filled with pain
And worry plunders your petite smiles
When love as it goes rips your heart apart
When you are beaten by hate and injustice
And the world seems cruel and unkind
When you wake at the dawn of a gloomy day and fear
torments your pride
You will cry
And just when hope starts to leave
I will look beyond your tearless eyes and see your
beauty
I will listen beyond your faint sobs and hear your heart
I will feel beyond your cold spirit and touch your soul to
warmness
When you are down and your spirit is needing cheer
I will put a strong arm 'round your falling shoulders
And whisper 'never mind'
I will be there when your spirit is broken
When chaos looms and your waters flow uphill
I will come along when you cry for help
I will stop by, I will help you carry on
I will be there
Being there makes us more human
Being there makes our world a better place
