This is true and it broke another part of my heart to write this story...
Let Me Be A Friend I talked to a young lady today She had teardrops in her eyes A young single mother to a little boy My heart ached to hear her sighs She said she did not tell her family She is trying to do things on her own Her tears she only lets fall at night When she faced the bitter truth alone No husbands arms to hold her When the sickness left her so afraid Stifled pillowed cries of tortured pain Looking for blame in past sins made Blood speckled on a hanky Her weight each day sliping into air Weak, tired and weary from her struggle But she won�t give in to open fear She said can I talk to you sometimes When the night won�t let me rest � If I can talk it helps me understand Why I�ve been given such a test I wiped the teardrops from my eye Said you can count on my support Let me share the weight on your shoulders Let me be a soldier in your fort.

It is so difficult to share our troubles, especially with our family, and I've never understood why. It's great that you could be there for her.
