Help Take The Pain Away

Published by Family Friend Poems December 2022 with permission of the Author.

You don’t have to be a hero
To relieve an aching heart,
To ease the burdens on his shoulder
A kind word will make a start.

A friendly smile may be all
You need to raise his spirits high,
A gentle touch upon the arm
Can ease a heavy sigh.

You don’t have to be a genius
To know what words to say,
Just by being at his bedside
Is relief enough for that day.

A warm embrace from a friend
Is the best medicine you can give.
To feel really cared about
Adds further reason to live.

You don’t have to be superman
To be strong enough to show
How much that you care
To make a heart really glow.

Any of these suggestions
Will encourage and comfort each day
That you try to help a loved one
And take the pain away.
