FRIEND-SHIP (EMPATHY)

The pain you have
I want to get it
To give you a hand!

The tears you drop down

Can I borrow you now?
I’ll blend it with some cane!

It’s hard but I figured out

Even if you can reply

That I can’t get you all

And not understand you

Cause I won’t feel your crying
By different waves of thoughts!

Surely, I know you are right

Even though I am willing
To swimming into your stream…

I wonder to find and meet you

In a certain flow on smooth river

Of your soul, my empathy I give you

My friend, dear friend, my ship

Human, truly you are as I am

Along day and night, sun and rain!
