#55 By Your Side

This poem reflects feelings towards either a friend or a lover. When someone you care about is hurting, there's often no appropriate words to say. I have found in my experiences, that just letting them know that you are there for them is often enough . . .

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems

By Your Side

by Ruwaida Van Doorsen

It hurts to know you�re hurting
Because you�re so special in my heart
The pain that you are feeling
Is tearing me apart

But know that love has a way
Of easing all that�s wrong
Together we can make it
If we hold on and just be strong

Know that you�re not alone
In all your adversity
For by your side through and through
Is where I�ll always be
