Be There…

Compassion, empathy, and love
Are warmest when holding hands…
Like people who care.
When emotions give you a shove,
I ache to be the one who understands…
Please, let me be there…

Stress, suppression, and pain
Should never be allowed…
To run their course.
My heart and soul sing our refrain
In these halls, hallowed…
You know, of course.
Please, say you’ll be there…
