An ode

there is a face

which you never tire of seeing

there is a smile

which means the world to you

there is a rebuke

which you fear the most

there is a pat on the back

which tells you all is well

there is a tear

you never want to see

there is a voice

you want to beleive

there is a stare

which sees right through you

there is a guide

when you are confused

there is peace

amid chaos and confusion

there is a presence

like a rainbow after the rain

there is someone beside

when all have left your side

there is strength

when all is lost

there is light

when all is dark

there is love

when you need it the most

there are moments

which you cherish forever

there is a truth

when all else is a lie

there is a mother

when there is no other
