A Steady Hand

Sleepless Nights, fear, pain,
Recurring dreams, again and again,
People walking leaving me behind,
People talking, with me on the side.

An urgent whisper,
A devoted prayer,
A steady hand in all my despair,
A genuine thought, a comforting word,
Brings me back to my peaceful world.

People walking along with me,
People talking, even to me.
