When I look at you through
My hurting soul
It seems as if taking from me
Is your end goal.
When I look at you through
My loving heart
I see we are not so far apart.
I want to give you, for a start.
Understanding,
A helping hand,
Acceptance,
No demand.
These are things I am lucky to receive.
They make me feel appreciative.
And when I turn to give,
I want to believe,
I am not naive,
And you can perceive
That you can grow beyond your grief,
And feel true relief.
I don’t want to seem vain,
When it comes to reducing your pain.
But it should be understood,
I want to make you feel good.
I know you walk your own lane,
And this is how you will always remain.
Still, I will be by you
When it shines and when it rains.
