Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain

Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain


I can not make it rain,
can not wash away all your pain
Those dark clouds steal,
the joy that should be your thrill

I can not stop those hurts,
your heart cries out in spurts
No shoulder can relieve,
misery or the anguish you conceive

I can hold you tonight,
kiss you deeply, stop the fright
Make a fortress for you to rest,
giving you my all, my very best

You can put your trust,
as my love for you is a must
You can send your tears,
into my heart with no deep fears

Together we can both renew,
this fantastic love we always knew
As I hold you to fall asleep,
let my heart be yours to always keep

If I could make it rain,
wash away all  your shattering pain
Moving heaven and earth,
gifting you my soul for all its worth
I would then sacrifice,
give it all, pay any heavy price
Set my life to just serve you,
face against the world, just we two!

I read a poem tonight and it so struck me that this
just poured out. I stayed up late getting it down before
it ran away! I hope it may inspire others to comfort 
a person in pain and needing a friend. Life is far too
short for us to live so selfishly as to ignore those 
in great pain and great need.
