Quietly I sit beside you
Gently holding your hand
No words need to be spoken
The sound of breathing can be heard

Breathe in deeply, slowly, exhale
Cleansing lungs and mind
Let the moment we're together
Take you from you fear, your tears

I'm sitting right beside you close
Feel the warmth of my hand
Together we'll get through this time
When words have no meaning, no sound

I say a prayer, nay many of them
To bring you peace and strength
I hope you feel this friendship
Brings understanding and hope



*Gentle Hugs*
Jean
