Medicine cannot always inspire.
Heal or bring hope to heal.
The path is painful and can mire,
One into hopelessness.
I feel your pain dear friend.
If I could take on a bit,
I would.
If I could.
I see your torment,
Pain in your eyes,
Not only physical,
Which dear friend I know is much.
But I would if I could.
All I can do it hold your hand,
Pray and cry.
Know that I love you and I,
When you leave,
I will grieve.
I will still love you,
And see you on the other side.
