I reach for you - you know I’m near,
I taste your salted pain in each shed tear,
I offer you my friendship, my heart, my love and care;
I pray for you, and gently hold your hand though it’s not there.
I’ve known you for a heartbeat,
I’ve known you many years,
I’ve known you at your weakest
When your world was filled with fears.
I’ll not abandon hope, nor faith - though you feel pain;
I’ll stand with you through sunshine,
And shelter you in rain;
I’ll never give up on my sweet, nor let your hurt remain.
If I could paint the sky with stars, or tame a thunderstorm;
If I could sculpt a thornless rose, or hold you in my palm,
I’d place you very gently in my heart until you mend;
I’d treasure you, you’re beautiful, my dear and trusted friend.
