Comforted By The Living

Ever attentive without casting stones,
you've been so supportive when I'm all alone.
Always available

Here's my shoulder to cry on when in need
Tuck yourself safely underneath my wing
Lean on me and I'll try to understand
And

Mary winces from the force of a contemptuous stare
Privileged eyes neither compassionate nor aware
No one sees the devastation

A shoulder to cry on is what I will offer you...forever

You live far away, our paths no longer cross, however, you know that

I will give you a shoulder to cry on,
A shoulder that's firm to your touch,
A friend you can love and rely on,
When everything's
