We are here

We know you long for that comforting embrace,
The silent echoes of your pleas strike where it aches most.
Yet we cradle your wailing hearts within our infinite cores,
For we are here because you are there.
We hurt when you hurt.
We cry when you cry.

Our ears are attuned to the sound of your clanging bells;
We are here to embrace you with unyielding love,
To save you, to uplift you, to kindle hope—
Because we hurt when you hurt.
We cry when you cry.

We are here to sing lullabies to your restless minds,
To stand by you, offering strength and solace.
Unlike fleeting rains, we are here—
Now, and forever.
We are here to end the abuse.
We are here to shield the women, the children.

We are here.
