• Just as a wave is lifted by the shore,
    Then breaks across the slowly rising sand,
    So as I watch you weep my feelings pour
    Across the wash of what I understand.
    I wish I could just take you in my arms
    And all your pain could melt into my chest,
    And all the violence of passing storms
    Could pass through me and finally come to rest.
    No words can set things right or presence lend
    A miracle to light your darkened way,
    But there is solace in a loving friend
    And comfort in what I don't have to say.
    Whatever circumstance you cannot bear,
    Just turn to me, and you will find me there
