Catching Them
It comes across as anger
But really it's despair,
It may seem bad tempered
But it's just because you care.
For you know where they are going
You know what's up ahead,
And you know that you have no control
And it fills your heart with dread.
Once again dragged down a path
Where you don't want to go.
Anxiety for company,
Watching your worries grow.
But you bite down on your worries
You push aside your fears,
For there's nothing that you won't endure
For those you hold so dear.
Maybe you have no control
But what you do is care.
So whatever path they stumble down
Your love will take you there.
This tempest of emotion
In time will surely ease.
It very nearly broke your heart,
And brought you to your knees.
But God, he gave you courage
The strength to endure all,
To be there for your loved ones,
And catch them when they fall.
