Today I've been preoccupied with things I can't change.
So many people I love are
hurting
worried
feeling lost.
I've carried them with me in my heart all day
hurting for them
hoping for them
praying for them
wishing I could help.
Some are far away and I can't get to them.
I know if we had the time
just to sit for a while
to listen
to hug
to hold a hand
I could help lift a burden
if only for a little while
bring out a smile
if only for a little while
share a giggle or two
if only for a little while.
I want to fix it
once and for all.
But sometimes
even a little while counts.
You are correct, Donna. There is so much pain, worry, sickness, and doubt right now. Here, fires are raging leaving loss in the wake, and the only things burning hotter are intolerance and misunderstanding. To be one to offer shelter, if only for a little while is a welcome gift. Thank you for giving.
