*note: this is the first time I've ever posted in this forum, and this is an old poem. I hope it fits with the rest here at this forum..Thanks.


If I couldn’t drink the wine
that flowed from your cup,
Would you help me up
so I could be whole again?
If I couldn’t raise my arms
to embrace your shaking skin,
Would you bend down to me
so I could whisper away you alarm?

When I lose my way
and stumble around,
Would you be by my side
to guide me to the light?
And if I couldn’t stand the strain
of the weight on my back.
Would you look to the sky
and help to clear the rain?

If I couldn’t wipe away the tears
as they flood your eyes,
Would you let me do my best
to try to make them stop?
I will be here for you
even if I’m not near,
So would you trust in me
when I’ve proved myself?

Tout s'en va, tout passe, l'eau coule, et le couer oublie.
