Until You Are Ready

Whatever you need, I'll be...
A life preserver thrown out to sea,
umbrella to shelter you from the storm,
the wool blanket to wrap you and keep you warm.
Your favorite song played on repeat,
warm fuzzy slippers to rest your weary feet,
I'll be whatever you need me to be.

I understand you pain, I see your sorrow,
I'll hold your hand until you're ready to let go.

To be a true friend one must always be available to help out where one can especially if one is grieving. A beautiful poem. Thank you so much for the visit to my site.
