I Am With You

I know some deep pain saddens you It has been nesting in your heart for long Breeding in the silence of your soul It leaves furrows on your brow It intensifies with every deepening night Leaving the wound in your heart severely bleeding Something that you don't want to divulge Robbing all your cheer and ebullience away, I can feel the smouldering of your heart How I wish I could fan away those aches Wipe off all the gloom from your mind Or at least share a bit of it, my dear! Even when you wear a mask impenetrable You might wonder how I know of it Is it telepathy that I can read your thoughts? Sense the rising palpitations of your heart? When I see your struggle to cover up your pain And put on a smile that is not genuine How I wish to alleviate your pain Staying by your side, wiping those tears away Though far, please know I am quite near Somewhere so close, round the corner I am with you as an unseen presence Praying for you ever and wishing you all good Life is strange with sudden twists and turns But never ever give up, nor lose hope Believe, at any time there can be a turn around It's a often after a bleary night comes the bright morn Again the sun shall show up in the East Darkness will recede and light shall descend When meadows with dew drops shall shine And woods with the song of birds will smile Walk in the open inhaling fresh air Enjoy the plants bursting into bloom Listen to the birds' melodious calling and cooing And think of all the blessings heaped on you in galore Look up to God in issues you cannot handle Call Him to your aid when with problems you battle He cannot but yield to the voice of your calling And instantly heal your heart deeply bleeding
