I Would Give Everything

I wish you happiness I would

I would make life good if I could

I would take away all the hurt

I would give you everything even my shirt

If I could make you smile

Life would be worthwhile

If I can ease all your pain

And life would be worthwhile again

If I could touch your heart

And give you a new start

If I said everything will be okay

If I can help in some small way

I will do everything I can

Beside you I will stand

I will help you ease all your pain

Until you get on your feet again

I wish I could take away all the pain but can only offer you my prayers. Thank you for making it one of your fav. It was written for my son when he was going thru a rough time in his life.
