Stay with me today,
still and silent,
and hold my hand
and sense my sorrow
that sits on me as
a dark cloud.
Wait with me in presence
not words, holding fast
to our bond just o be despite
the world that takes away
and gives back no more.
Stay with me and watch
my pain unfold and as
we sit the watch I shall
find enough to go on.
