Be Well

When you are ailing 
So Am I

When you are weak 
So Am I

Your bright eyes become dull
Your cheerful face, sadden from feeling illness
You slump in the bed, curled in a ball.
No energy to walk, talk not even to crawl.

But taking care of you is all I live to do.
I'll 'nurse' in your illness, as you are too weak to move.

Be well my sweetheart
Be strong again
I pray that your ailing feeling with dissipate 
Leaving me time to celebrate you, and your health

All is well when you are happy and full of life again.
