This poem was written for someone special
after the death of her husband.



I am here to listen...


I do not know the pain you feel, or if it will ever ease.
So I am here to listen to you any time you please.

I can not know the burden of being all alone.
So I am here to listen any time you phone.

I do not know how empty you are bound to feel.
So I am here to listen and try to help you heal.

I do not wish this anguish to linger in your heart.
So I am here to listen so your feelings don't turn tart.

I do not want you're smile to fade because you are so sad.
So I am here to listen when you struggle being mad.

I do not want your thoughts to linger on things you should have done.
And in the end your time together ...means you've really won.
