All I Can Do
By: Carol Huber

I wish I could hold you
and protect you from evil

I wish I could promise
that nothing would ever harm you

But the harm already happened
long ago

And the screams I hear are memory
frozen in time

I wish I could hold you
and tell you that I love you

and promise that no one would ever do that again

But the screams are memory
and it’s your memory not mine

Will you share with me the burden?

I can’t stop the hurt
I can’t stop the pain

It already happened
Oh, so long ago
When we were just a child

All I can do
Is offer my strength and my love
and offer to share

Your pain
My love
Our healing...
