Heal
There is pain that
I cannot heal.
There is suffering
That I cannot help.
There are cuts that
I cannot kiss better.
There are tears that
I cannot hug away.
The world has so much
That I cannot help with.
But there is some
That I can.
There is pain that I can
Help heal by listening to them.
There is suffering that I can
Help by being there for them.
There are cuts that I can
Kiss better because they let me.
There are tears that I can
Hug away by holding them close.
I may not be able
To help the world.
But by being who I am,
I can do something in my part.
There is pain, suffering, cuts
And tears that I can’t help heal.
But there is also pain, suffering
Cuts, and tears that I can.
And I do,
By helping heal my
Small corner of the world.
I help heal myself.
