To Say To You Right Now

Things haven't been easy for you lately

and sometimes even close friends

can't find the words to comfort one another.

I do not try to pretend to understand

what you are feeling inside,

but do know how frightening the unknown can be

and that sometimes we have to face our fears alone.

I am besides you in this,

even though I find myself stumbling over words

meant to reassure you that everything will work out.

I'm hurting with you, and if I can help to ease your burdens,

I want to do this.

I know I can't change things, but I can listen

I can hold your hand, and offer my strengthin your time of need.

Maybe the words aren't always there, but my heart is.
