I Am There

I cannot ease your pain
nor lessen your sorrow
I cannot mend your broken heart
nor give you hope for tomorrow
I cannot move time to when you are healed
nor soothe you, but I can stand by your side

I can hold your hand
and whisper words of comfort
I can share your pain
and like a candle in the darkness-
search for hope
I can wait with patience and understanding
until you are ready
and you will know I am always there.

Lovely. We must be traveling on the same wavelength, Julie. Sounds like the thoughts running through my head today.
