Dear God,

Dear God, 

Show me how to be with someone who lost a dear one,

Show me how to be present while he weeps and struggles, 

Show me the way to stand with him,

For I can't do anything else,


Embody me to say only that is required,

For I know random at such times, touch the heart like a burning wood on fire, 

Silence is gold, conversations are silver,

How may I comfort him with such distance,


Time goes on,  making healing the natural way, 

Not knowing how to be, keeps the emotions at bay, 

God, stand by him for I am an insignificant being, 

Take him through such terrible times, installing peace in his being...
