No, please. by Ethna

Runner-Up for March 2021

No, please do not hide how you feel from me,
For what are pain and sadness meant to be?
A tool to be used against you in fights,
Or a way to find strength within your plights?

No, please, feel free to share how you feel with me,
To strengthen our bond, so this I will plead:
If you do not feel fine or if unwell,
Take a moment to peek out of your shell.

No, please, don't do something you will regret,
We're not too busy to deal with this threat.
I have felt His pain and seen His sorrow,
And still have endured for the morrow.

You will always have me nearby to talk,
To discuss and decide whilst on a walk.
No, please, feel free to share how you feel with me,
For what are pain and sadness meant to be?

You are loved and cherished and don't forget,
That I will soon always be in your debt.
For letting me in and taking the chance,
For letting me in and taking a glance.

I just wish to help you feel better things,
Something I have always wanted to bring:
Happiness and smiles even if I...
Could not help Father the way I helped you.

No, please do not hide how you feel from me,
For what are friends for that I cannot be?
