Let me sit... by royowen
    Empathy with Grief Contest Winner 

Please let me sit beside you friend,
I'll stand and watch till journey's end.
I've seen your tears, I've watched them fall;
I'll share your pain, perceive its call.

They say that grief will ease with time,
For now these words aren't worth a dime.
If I could share the hurt you feel,
Its fruit I'd eat, this promise seal.

But I can only watch you cry,
I'll stay with you, till joy is nigh.
To weep with those, who, lost in grief,
I'll faithful be, to soul's relief.
