Being There
My presence
is the great gift
I am able to offer to you.
In my unique way
I will help you.
I will work with you.
I will give my very life for you.
If you are suffering,
I will give you loving kindness,
understanding, and compassion.
~Shelley Richardson
Looking Deeply into Tea
In my heart I am sitting there under this arbor of grapes
holding your hand, praying with you, and just being
there for you.
