I wish I did more

 Some days I wish I can do more

I wish I can take away the pain, the fear and the hurt

I wish I can make you smile, heck, I would even settle for a grimace

I know the world can be a dark and scary place at times

I know what it feels like when things fall through

When all that you planned, hoped and desired collapse

I have confronted that bleakness myself many times

And G-d willing, I will go back many a time more

Because each time I come back deeper than before

I know the gradient of darkness

I am well acquainted with the strata of silence

And so will you my friend

Because if someone like me can make it

So will you

But if you are not sure, then sit by me for a while

Let me tell you that it is going to be alright

May be it is not the "right" that you have in mind

But if you trust it, life will do right by you

I believe that, I truly do

So, if you need a friend this night or any night

Know I am here

I will walk with you as far you want me to

And I will stay behind should you need an anchor

But wherever you go

Rest assure you will always have a comrade in arms
