Although I’m far away
my heart can feel your anguish
And today I write with love
so your hope does not vanish.
I can’t even imagine
the horror you went through.
And since that terrible day
in my prayers there is always you.
I know I can’t see you
and we don’t even know each other.
You might have lost a loved one
and it’s a pain you can’t ignore.
But lift up your head and realize
there is so much more to live for.
You have been given a second chance
so embrace your life and hold it tight.
There is devastation around you
but hope and love to make it right.
I wish I could be there to help
pick up every stick and stone.
Be a shoulder to cry on
if you feel helpless and alone.
But I can’t be there right now
so my help will come some other way.
I will make sure through prayers and words
you are not forgotten at the end of the day.
There will be a better tomorrow
and I know you will pull through.
And through the distance I’ll send my spirit
so night and day I’ll be with you.
