And I Am Well

And I Am Well

I cried;
Your hand found my shoulder gently;
No words passed between us;
You understood in your gentle touch.

Each day you sat beside me;
You laid your hand upon mine,
No words passed between us;
You understood in your gentle touch.

Today I am strong again,
Yet still you stand beside me.
No words pass between us;
I understood your gentle touch,

And I am well.
