What is it about me?

He learned to put me first; it was my only request.
That's what puts him above all the rest.
But I don't understand why it's hard for others to see
that I do that for them; can't they do that for me?

When I stop and say that I thought of you today
it's because I did; for you I often pray.
Did you stop and think of me on this, God's day?
Tell me if you did because I need to know you think of me that way.

I don't ask much; just take some time for me
especially now; so many are backing away from me.
They don't know what to say or do
and all I need is a friend that is true.

"For better or for worse" are words for friends too
so I want to know where mine are! Few have been true.
I don't wear my grief outside but it's deep inside
and I would like to know if you'll stay by my side.


I love you dearly, my friends.
