My heart breaks for you
My heart broke for you today
I pictured you there
Standing in the rain
Tears streaming down your face
Crying out to God above
Wondering where he’s been
My heart broke for you today
Seeing you in pain
Wishing there was a way
To take away the rain
To shoulder all your pain
If I could only carry this burden
For you, I would
My heart breaks for you today
I wish that I could give your strength
I wish I knew what to say
I hope you know I’m standing here
All I can do is pray
And even though you can’t see me
You’ll never be alone
I’ll be here for you

I appreciate that Beverly, there was a lot of emotion behind this one for me.
Beautiful poem.

It can be sooo hard to just stand by. Thank you for sharing Willstarr.
This reminds me of last year when my sister lost her youngest daughter. There was nothing I could do and there were no wise and comforting words (there never are). All I could do was watch her in her anguish, and pray for her.

Thank you Michael, I know listening can also be very helpful. It is comforting to know that God has given us the ability to share one anothers burdens
Wonderful poem April. My wife and I recently had dinner with a couple who had lost their 8 yr old daughter. The father opened up to me as he shared his story of pain and perseverance. I could only listen as I found it difficult to relate. Sometimes all we can do is stand by the hurting and to pray.
