i saw you hurting
and i wept
for i couldn't take away your hurt
i could take away the pain
i heard you crying
and it cut my heart
that i couldn't stop the pain
and wipe away your tears
all i can do is
offer you my hand
to hold
when you feel like
the world is too much
to handle
take my hand and i
will be here to hold it
to keep you from falling
i will pull you away
from the edge
out of the water
i will sheild you
from the storm
from the pain
from the weapons
of those
who would dare to hurt you
i am here for you
whenever you need a friend
a helping hand
a shoulder to cry on
an ear that can listen
i am here
i am that hand
that shoulder, that ear
and when you feel you can't fight
that the sorrows of life
have grown to great
when you feel too weak
to hold onto life
take my hand
and i will hold on for you
i won't let you fall
This is dedicated to all of my friends!
