The loss that you have suffered,

Is one that I've been spared.....

But just the very thought of it

Seems more than I could bear.....

I will not pretend to know...

The pain you're going through,

I can't imagine what it's like

To be walking in your shoes....

I cannot feel your pain, my friend

........for it is yours to bear

I can only share your grief

And let you know I care....

No, I cannot feel how deep your pain

But this I understand.....

A load that's shared is half the weight

Please take my outstretched hand....
