Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain

Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain I can not make it rain, can not wash away all your pain Those dark clouds steal, the joy that should be your thrill I can not stop those hurts, your heart cries out in spurts No shoulder can relieve, misery or the anguish you conceive I can hold you tonight, kiss you deeply, stop the fright Make a fortress for you to rest, giving you my all, my very best You can put your trust, as my love for you is a must You can send your tears, into my heart with no deep fears Together we can both renew, this fantastic love we always knew As I hold you to fall asleep, let my heart be yours to always keep If I could make it rain, wash away all your shattering pain Moving heaven and earth, gifting you my soul for all its worth I would then sacrifice, give it all, pay any heavy price Set my life to just serve you, face against the world, just we two! Robert J. Lindley, 02-05-2015 I read a poem tonight and it so struck me that this just poured out. I stayed up late getting it down before it ran away! I hope it may inspire others to comfort a person in pain and needing a friend. Life is far too short for us to live so selfishly as to ignore those in great pain and great need.
