Chat over a cup of hot tea, or
Perhaps the iced variety in your
State down south.
I wish I could just ask questions
And listen to you unload your
Concerns.
I know your husband's dementia is
Getting worse.
The future is grim and grimmer, and
I wonder how you're coping, if your
Hoping in Him is keeping you
Going.
I wish I could hold your hands and
Pray with you, stay with your
Confused dear one so you could spend
A whole day by yourself doing what
Brings you pleasure.
I wish I could give you a hug.
I'm here for you.
But I wish I could be there for you too.
