Witness

I can’t do it for you
but I can sit with you whilst you weep
I can’t do it for you
but go ahead and sing
and as the truth of what you feel
is now expressed in what is real
I’ll hold my witnessing to keep
acknowledge what you’re offering
 
I won’t be embarrassed
so don’t you be either, I must say
I won’t be harassed
this time is set for you
so now I hope you can receive
expressing free what you believe
until you’re done I’m fine to stay
and witness to a moment true
 
Then when it’s all over
you’ve let it out, got it off your chest
you’ll know why I couldn’t
shouldn’t do it for you
but this gift is reciprocal
my turn next to be so vocal
and you’ll be the silent witness
as my reality shines through.
