Conscience

You're with me 
day and night, 
all through my life!

You know my dreams,
You know my worries,
You know me well,
You're my best friend!

When I'm in distress, 
You come smiling;
When I'm hurt,
You come consoling;
When I'm in tears,
You wipe it off gently! 

You've been with me 
all the way invisibly;
I've not seen you though, 
I know you're my best friend! 

How long shall we live 
together this way, ​​​​​I don't know. 
Leave me not for my follies! 
Without you, I'm sure
I'll be no more, but
I wish you don't follow me
when I finally move to my tomb!
