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.
