[bodytext] => Stand on my shoulders
If the waters get to deep
Stand on my shoulders
If the mountain gets to steep

I’ll be your shoulder
If you need to cry
I’ll be your shoulder
To lift you up on high

Stand on my shoulders
If you can’t see the road
Stand on my shoulders
I’ll help carry your load

I’ll be your shoulder
When you are in despair
I’ll be your shoulder
To show you I care

I’ll be there for you
To help make you bolder
But imagine what we could do
If we stood shoulder to shoulder…

Stand on My Shoulders

Contributed by Jilly on Saturday, 15th February 2003 @ 01:40:00 AM in AEST
Topic: FriendshipPoetry

Stand on my shoulders
If the waters get to deep
Stand on my shoulders
If the mountain gets to steep

I’ll be your shoulder
If you need to cry
I’ll be your shoulder
To lift you up on high

Stand on my shoulders
If you can’t see the road
Stand on my shoulders
I’ll help carry your load

I’ll be your shoulder
When you are in despair
I’ll be your shoulder
To show you I care

I’ll be there for you
To help make you bolder
But imagine what we could do
If we stood shoulder to shoulder…

Jill

I liked the pace of the poem. The end rhymes kept the pace consistent and flowing...which is incorporated into a good friendship.

As I read this poem, i leaned back in my chair and what i saw was the shape of an old style lantern which was used to lead one through the darkness. I see that in this poem...friends helping one another throughout life to achieve their goals and accomplish their dreams.

Great work!

Nice one Jilly, typical of you.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
