I have concerns that stretch beyond my reach
Thoughts and hopes extend… Am I here to teach?
Dear grand-child, I am here if you need to talk
I will not turn my back on you and take a long walk
Life can be complicated when facing the unknown
You have choices to make now that you have grown
I find that when we get together and conversation starts
Inner feelings rise to the surface…dealing with the heart
What do I tell you… can my words lift and steer?
I can relate and listen…sometimes it pains me to hear
how broken love can bring tears to your saddened eyes
I keep an open mind… I cannot resolve…I’m not that wise
I am reminded of when I was your age… when emotions
dropped and flattened… There are no magic potions
that can heal and cure… sharing feelings might help relieve
You can confide in me… I know you’ll be okay if you believe
Believe in yourself and keep your faith…you will survive
Put away the photos that remind… take a deep breath… revive
The future may not seem bright just now… but it will rally
Life has a way of improving if you trust… this is not the finale
