My time is all I have to give
some relief is all you seek
A few words perhaps
of understanding and hope
You lower your eyes
and ask for some food
I see the tears well
as you hold them inside
A smile is all I can show
for the tears in me
are kept at bay
but you see them
I know you see them
those invisible tears
are impossible to hide
though we might try...

Unspoken signals between kindred souls make rich pickings for poetic inspiration as you show here in this unpretentious and honest piece about compassion and humility. Might I suggest you leave out the word 'ashamed' in the second stanza. I don't think you need it. A poem written straight from the heart. love, Allie xxxx
