November's Child - Copyright (C) 6/30/08 by Dan Sharpe.
I stood by weeping,
as you were treated cruel.
My sore heart leaping,
and the chance to stand by you.
When others put you down,
I always cherished you.
When they would make you frown,
I'd get a smile or two.
After all the pain they caused you,
how sad, that all it took from me,
were the heartfelt words "I love you",
to make you reject, and exile me.
I've forgiven you for the put downs,
and the cold, and wounding words,
I hope true love is what you've found,
if so, my prayers were heard.
