You Rock Me Solid
©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson
Not only do you rock, you are one––
That’s the honest truth.
I oughta know; you’ve had my back
since we were in our youth.
You’ve stood by me through thick and thin…
up, down, and sideways, too.
I’ve never known a day alone
since I hooked up with you.
You hold me tight when late at night
my courage turns to fear.
You check on silly, scary sounds
that only I can hear.
You always seem to smooth the way
when my road gets too bumpy.
You love me for myself: the good and bad,
the glad and grumpy.
You’re solid and I know it, and
that knowledge sets me free
to know that I can trust your heart
with every part of me.
Not only do you rock, you are one––
firm as any boulder.
And yet, the softest spot in all my world
is on your shoulder.
