I will Sit With You
I will sit with you
Awaiting the coming darkness;
Though I cannot go with you
For you I’ll wait.
***
I will sit with you
All through the surrounding darkness;
Though I cannot make it lighter
I’ll share the dark.
***
I will sit with you
After the dark has gone
When the memory remains;
Though I cannot take it away
I’ll take your hand.
