If Only... Poem by MKGF ...

if i can only take your pain away

i'd grasp it lovingly on my palm

place it in my heart

without a tear or doubt.

if i can only take your place

i'll embrace your tired soul

with a loving heart

keeping fate with gratitude.

if i can only take your sadness

i'll happily hold it tight

take it away

to the fathomless sea

as i search for my own destiny.

if i can only ease your life

bring a smile on your tired faith

i'll give my light, my life easily

and i'll simply dream

to see you glow.

[for my mom. This was written when she was still with us. I was beside her, and she was in pain...I didn't know what to do, how to stop her pain. I always stayed with her showing her I knew what I was doing...that everything will be alright...that I was strong and that she could lean on my strength.]
