I Feel You

If an answer could transform lives
If a gesture could cease those cries
If a kind word could join those hearts
That have so bitterly fallen apart
Then wouldn't you?

If a smile could wipe their tears
If listening could make them feel heard
If a helping hand could erase their fears
Then wouldn't you?

If resisting could make us share hurts
If standing by their side could make them stronger
If thinking of them could make them feel loved
Then wouldn't you?

If their souls' thirst could be quenched
If their was hope to save those dying hearts
If it was your mother, your father, your brother, your sister
Or any of your loved ones
If it was you and not them
Then wouldn't you?

So why don’t you?

You say it's not possible
You say you cant stand by their side
Know they wont either when it is your turn
Know if your turn doesn't come here
It will certainly come later
You say, by their side, physically
To stay is something so silly
To desire to talk to them in person
Is like not using your reason
You say you are helpless
You say you have limitations
That may be true, you are bound by your limitations,
But only *you* - not Him

And so to empower you was given
The most powerful weapon-
Prayers
Your prayers - your love - will transcend all limitations
All boundaries, all constraints, all restrictions
And if your plea is sincere and if your love is pure
Then it will - it must - change destinies

In their silent pleas
In their hearts somewhere deep
They often remember you
But, do you?
