I stand with you
not because you cannot stand alone
but because you shouldn’t have to
No one should
The struggle never ends for some
but you don’t need to do it all
every time for everyone
Let me ease that burden
Let me walk beside you
I can catch you when you falter
I can light the path before you
I can be that little bit of help
that makes all the difference
Not because it’s what you need
but because we all could use
a moment of respite
a chance to catch our breaths
Somewhere to set the burdens down
‘lest we sink into the earth below
Let me be that hand
that holds you up and steady
though you always rise when you fall
you don’t have to ever hit the ground
