a prayer for you

i'll be the dam for your tears
i'm willing to be your glue
this embrace is purely for you
i want nothing for myself
except your happiness and health
i won't let the world destroy you
i won't let lack of care scour your heart
i'm offering up a prayer for you and your ghosts
i understand you have failings
i understand you hate yourself for it
but you are too good for all this pain
i'll wipe your tears and pretend it's passing rain
and we will remove the funereal shroud
and stitch a silver lining into the cloud

thank you everyone for your comments, it was an attempt to explain to myself how i felt about what i was doing for someone at the moment -- not that i thought about it before i acted in the way i did. not that i would hesitate to act like this as much as i can.

This is very nice. So much compassion. It's a wonderful poem about reaching out to someone who is going through a difficult time.

Paul, this was such an outstanding poem that I printed it out for a friend of mine who speaks exactly like that. Fine writing.
