i care

why’d you cry today

was it because of the pain

that comes with love

 

 

are your children healthy

your partner, also

how are you, my friend

will you survive the day

 

 

i ask because i care

we’ve gone days we

have not spoken, written

or called exchanging our

life's wares

 

 

my efforts will be more

from now on to be there for you

if you wish to cry, my shoulder

will be comfort with a warm embrace

 

 

i know i can’t fix your world

nor you mine but we can assuage

the pain if we’re there for each other

showing that we care

 

 

you know it is said

when the burden is heavy

if it is shared the weight

will be lessen and can be

carried till its end

 

 

so call me and i will you

let’s talk and tell each other

about those burdensome things

so that our days will come to be

bountiful by knowing someone cares

spot of wisdom, maybe

once again i open my eyes waging a battle

with the enticement of slumber where the
cradle of my bed with which i shared a moment
of sweet oblivion whispers asking me…
why denounce our comfort, wait awhile to awake

but then the day calls me, also, with its delight

and its mornings tinge of a soft grey
and it says to me…i shall feed you with verve
from my sun’s energy and provide you with
my day’s script for without this your night
would not be filled with dreams

and so, awake, i ponder the day’s calling

to be one of tender struggles, of smiles
and laughter yet also bringing forth pangs
with tears of seeing plight but knowing
i shall consume some wisdom of life and at
it’s end i shall once again introduce the day
to night and reminding them… that in life
there is darkness and there is light
