Book I: Through Darkness and Thorns
Chapter
IV: Holding Hands Along the Path
How Can I Help?
I sit here in wonderment
At the stories people tell
Of their sad and lonely voyage
Through their own private hell.I try to share their feelings
Of the battles they have known,
But someone on the outside
Can never feel it in their bones.All I truly have to offer
Is one sympathetic ear.
I trust it will be helpful
As they overcome their fear.I will try to be here for them
Try to help them on their way.
May I always show compassion
‘Til they find their freedom day.
