Someone Cares

Dedicated to Greg Jacobs
May He Rest In Peace

How do you respond to caring
When it comes unexpectedly
I wish someone had an answer
Because this just happened to me

I tend to be emotional
I feel things deeply from within
It seems letting out the real me
Kills friendships before they begin

Not one other single person
Has shown any sign of concern
Not my husband, my sister, or son
No direction with fears to turn

Friendships have seemed like fantasies
Fountains that are dry and dusty
I’ve felt like I’m suffocating
In the air that’s stall and musty

Out of the blue and dreamlike
A knight writes that he understands
Now my tears fight to be released
Falling on knees with folded hands

God Bless this kind and caring soul
Whose hug I luckily I received
I no longer feel so alone
Not as alone as I believed
