"shared Tears"

We all say "I know how you feel"...
But its sometimes just words and not real...
We can't imagine anothers pain...
Its like sitting in the sun and feeling the rain...
Maybe its just best to share the tears....
And not pretend we can feel their fears...
A shoulder to rest on seems right to me...
Or just and ear to listen or a friend to see...
"I know how you feel" could be for some....
But unless I've walked those shoes or its where
I'm from...
I'll just share some tears, and be a friend who
is there to hear...

How true your words are Michael, you can never truly know how someone else is feeling, even if you have lived through a similar experience. Just to share those tears and be a listening ear is a most precious gift. I enjoyed your thoughts very much ~ Sharon :)
