Together We Are Strong

Yes, life is tough! I know there are struggles in life that we all go through. Sometimes we secretly hide them away, some for fear and others just because they have no one who cares for them. But you my dear, I know you do not ask for much, but I see sadness in your beautiful eyes. I can feel your heartache and those tears leaving trails down your cheeks. You may not realise it, but your pain becomes mine... I ache for you too! I'm here for you always. Let me hold you awhile! I want to wipe your tears away, place the brightest star in your heart. If pain can be transferred, I would gladly take them from you, carry the burden for you. You are so dear to me, I love you with all my heart. You know I'll do anything for you, I'll drive many miles to get you - ~ anytime ~ anywhere. So head up baby! Quit sitting still and letting sadness seep its way deep into your heart and soul. Come rest your head on my shoulder, I will hold you close, promise to never let go. Dry those tears and let's start a new day. Together we are strong For contest: Togetger we are strong Sponsor: Silent One 3-14-18

My, what a wonderful write Akkina, with someone who cares so much I would no longer have a reason to be sad (it would ruin my poems, though ; ).
