In reflection of the Los Angeles wildfires

It’s OK to be angry;

        Life has not been fair.

It’s OK to be sad;

        You have had so much loss.

It’s OK to take a break;

        Just remember to breathe.

It’s OK not to be OK; 

        There is just so much to bear. 

It’s OK not to be strong;

        We are all only human.

It’s OK not wanting to talk;

         I can listen to you in silence.

It’s OK not knowing what to do;

        I am here.  You can lean on me. 

I am here. 

       I see your quiet tears. 

       I hear your silent screams.

       I sense your suffering. 

I am here. 

          Lean on me.

I am here for you.
