“Reaching Out”

Written by Christine R. – Angels by Grace Pub. April 1998

I feel your pain

And long to touch your hurt

And make it melt away.

Yes, I know

I can’t really see

the breadth

and depth

of this dark valley you’re in.

*

I can’t truly know

just how sharp the knife is

in your soul –

for it is you in its path, 

not me.

But I have known other valleys,

and in my heart

still bear knife-wounds scars.

Even so

I would walk your road

and take your pain

if I could.

I cannot. 

*

And yet, perhaps

in some way

I can be a hand to hold

in the darkness;

in some way, try to blunt

the sharpness of pain.

But, if not

it may help a little

just to know I care.
