I Can....

I can kiss your head
Let you hold my hand
Stroke your fevered brow
But I cannot take your pain away

I can shed tears with you
Wish I could dry all yours
Or even cry them in your place
But that won't take your pain away

I can hold you like a baby
Let my love be your blanket
As my arm is wet with your weeping
But I'm helpless to take your pain away

I can let you talk
Not minding that what you say
I don't understand at all
But how will that take your pain away?


All I can do now is pray
