Did I Ever Stop?
Did I ever stop to make you smile
When your day was hard or your road was long?
When your lightstopped shining for a while,
Did I sing for you a happy song?
Did I ever try to make you laugh
When your eyes held tears and youcouldn’t speak?
When your world seemed almost torn in half,
Did I hold your hand or kiss your cheek?
Did I ever pause to hear your voiceWhen you needed just a moment's ear?
When you’d lost your way or missed a choice,
Did I let you know that I was near?
Did I ever stopto say I care
When I didn’t seek to hear it too?
When you weren’t so sure that I’d be there,
Did I ever show my love for you?For Discussion: The same poem can have different meanings to different readers.
