About the Poem
This poem reflects feelings towards either a friend or a lover. When someone you care about is hurting, there's often no appropriate words to say. I have found in my experiences, that just letting them know that you are there for them is often enough . . .
By Your Side |
by Ruwaida Van Doorsen |
It hurts to know you’re hurting Because you’re so special in my heart The pain that you are feeling Is tearing me apart But know that love has a way Of easing all that’s wrong Together we can make it If we hold on and just be strong Know that you’re not alone In all your adversity For by your side through and through Is where I’ll always be |
