Went to see Ann today, 
She put on a brave face.
I see she doesn’t know,
Whether to laugh or to cry, 
The feelings coming from her, 
Were from a deep down inside space.  

So, now how do I help? 
How do I help her deal? 
My friend is hurting,
I know not what to feel. 
Can I help... don't know, 
Should I Help... Don't Know, 
DO I DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW... 
DON’T KNOW!!!

So I go about my days, 
I check in and I hope and meditate, 
For my friend to find some peace, 
Bit of sunshine on the rainy days that wait, 
Rushing to drown her down, 
She is numb now and safe from the deluge. 
But at any time…
She will feel again. 

Then the rain will come from inside. 
Her river of tears will no longer hide. 
She was raked across razors,
In her husband’s final days, 
Can she now be happy, 
In this terrible haze of guilt? 
Should she now be happy,
In this terrible haze of guilt?
