I Wish I Knew The Right Words
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 strength in your time of need.
Maybe the words aren't always there, but my heart is.
