Peace Of Mind

I can’t say that I know how you feel

For your hurt is great

And it will take a lot of time

for it to heal. 

It makes one wonder

if such a hurt will ever fully mend

When you've lost a mate,
a parent, a child or a good friend

Please know that I think of you,

Each and every day

And if you decide

To pick up the phone, email or text

I am only seconds away.

We can talk anytime
about whatever comes to mind. 

Silly or funny, thoughtful or sad

Your choices not mine.

While it is possible for a friend

To help ease your pain

From one moment to the next

Only God can bring you peace of mind 
But I will strive to be second best.
