The Act of Sympathy
My arm extends around her shoulder,
for she is lost in lonely memories.
Carrying a burden like a prodigious boulder,
I give her my absolute paramount sympathies.
I only wish for her exorbitant anguish to cease.
Encompassed in my love she shall prevail
in this battle she calls her perpetual foe.
She’s been drowning and feels to no avail
will she find liberty from suffering’s woe.
Oh, my warming arms wish to never let go.
I squeeze so tight, for we fit just right
like a puzzle with perfect pieces glued.
My touch may help her never lose joy's sight,
and help her find victory in pain’s feud.
My kind and amiable hands pray she’s renewed.
This loving act of sympathy will give her peace,
and show her my understanding commiseration.
Her joy contingent upon her sorrow’s decrease,
may I envelope her in a benevolent sensation-
and bestow comfort onto her intense devastation.
