"This just plain stinks... 

and there's no point 

in pretending otherwise - - 

But here's the thing 

I want you to remember... 

You've got someone... 

On your side,

someone who cares

about you allot - - Me. 

I've got my heels dug in,

and I am standing firm, 

right here, ready to do 

whatever it takes 

to see you through 

the rough spots 

and watch you emerge 

stronger than ever - - 

I know that you will 

get through this 

in your own way, 

on your terms,

in your own time. 

But in the meantime - - 

I want you to be sure 

to lean on me - - 

because that is why 

I am here...
