what to say
what to do
hurting are the people
around you
you love them dearly
you want to reach out
feeling helpless
but remembering it's not about you
toss aside what you're doing
ignore what you think
praying for help for you
for them
wishing to take their pain
wanting to make it right
wanting to understand
to say the right thing
to offer the right touch
I want to carry their loads
I want to show love
They've been there for me
Am I being there for them?
