I cannot lift your sorrow
Can’t erase the pain
That buckles your knees
Makes your feet forget walking

I can’t tell you tomorrow
Will be a better day
For we’d both know
That’s just wishes talking

All I can do is stand with you
Support you, lend you a hand
Let you know you’re not alone
In this hell we can’t understand

I cannot dry your tears
But I can mingle mine with them
And I do.

In memory of and respect for the almost 33 years you defined your life as Jimmie's wife.

Laura, that's the very definition of love. This is as beautiful as a bouquet of roses, suthern lady.....and unlike the roses, it may last forever.

Nightshade: I'm merely a reflection of the lovely souls I'm privileged to know. *S* Thank you! *S*

JM: Thank you so very much... I hope she agrees. *S*

Ratleader: Roses and love do last forever, my friend... ever fresh and fragrant in the heart... memories to sustain us. *S* Thank you so much for finding beauty in these words! *S*

PS: I try to be. *S* I know I'm blessed with some. *S* Thank you! *S*

Toerag: Sometimes feelings are so intense it seems no words are adequate... I thank you very much for reading my heart in this one. *S*

Sadelite: Thank you so much. *S* Your kindness to both my poetry and self are greatly appreciated! *S*

Seymour: You're so dear... and I thank you so much for that reassurance! *S*
