I AM WEEPING

 OURCARE SUPPORT GROUP

By Shirley Riga

I AM WANTING TO UNDERSTAND WHO I AM

I AM WANTING TO KNOW WHY I FEEL SO DEEPLY

I AM WANTING TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THOSE WHO WEEP WITH ME.

I AM SUFFERING WITH THE SUFFERERS.

I AM WEEPING WITH THE WEEPERS.

I AM ACHING WITH THOSE WHO HURT.

I AM BREATHING FOR THOSE WHO SUFFOCATE.

I AM LIVING FOR THOSE WHO DARE NOT.

I AM SPEAKING FOR THOSE WHO ARE MUTE.

I AM HEARING FOR THOSE WHO ARE DEAF.

I AM SEEING FOR THOSE WHO ARE BLIND.

I AM WALKING FOR THOSE WHO ARE LAME.

I AM BEING IN THIS WORLD FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID.

I AM THE TRUTH FOR THOSE WHO CAN ONLY LIE.

I AM BRAVE FOR THOSE WHO ARE WEAK.
