But when I asked about the serious
Health issue she is facing, she
Began to cry.
I held her tightly for awhile as
The tears rolled down her face.
I tried my best to encourage her.
And then I haltingly prayed, not
Knowing exactly what to say.
I felt inept.
But I've learned that words aren't
Always necessary to express
Care and concern.
Sometimes a strong hug is
Enough.
Hopefully, I conveyed both.
