Stand fast
We often tell people we're ' fine ', or that things are ' good ', because we either don't want to burden them with our troubles, or can't face the inevitable overwhelming rush of emotions that come from telling it like it is. But a trouble shared is a trouble halved, or so the saying goes, (Don't worry, I truly am fine!) Your tears, Held back by strong, Well-practiced, defensive walls, Are breached by kind words of recognition; Each stone so carefully placed Knocked aside by every supportive phrase, Until not even a loving embrace Can hold your defences together. Trust me. Let me help you. We'll build your fortress high again, Laying each stone on the strongest of foundations, To create a beautiful declaration of power, Tougher than any defensive barricade. © Copyright 2024.
