Songs of Sorrow

When you wonder if I’m there

  because I do not make a sound

            I am

  Loving you quietly in the background.

If you wonder if I know

what tears your heart in two

            I am

right here, arms outstretched for you.

If you’re asking “Do you care?”

 ( and you know I do)

           I do,

           I am

Holding you in my hand.
