When news like this comes crashing in,
And all the world feels paper-thin,
When strength is something hard to find,
And fear keeps running through your mind—
Please know, my friend, in all you face,
In every dark or silent place,
Though this is yours to brave and bear,
I promise you: I will be there.
You do not have to walk alone,
Through quiet nights or days unknown.
When things feel heavy, hard, or slow,
I’ll walk beside you, step by step,
As far as you need me to go.
I can’t fix pain, or change the fight,
But I can bring a bit of light.
A hand to hold, a place to rest—
Whatever helps you feel your best.
Your love is fierce. Your heart is wide.
But even warriors need a guide.
And when your strength feels nearly gone,
Remember this:
You’re not alone.

When news like this comes crashing in,
And all the world feels paper-thin,
When strength is something hard to find,
And fear keeps running through your mind—
Please know, my friend, in all you face,
In every dark or silent place,
Though this is yours to brave and bear,
I promise you: I will be there.
You do not have to walk alone,
Through quiet nights or days unknown.
When things feel heavy, hard, or slow,
I’ll walk beside you, step by step,
As far as you need me to go.
I can’t fix pain, or change the fight,
But I can bring a bit of light.
A hand to hold, a place to rest—
Whatever helps you feel your best.
Your love is fierce. Your heart is wide.
But even warriors need a guide.
And when your strength feels nearly gone,
Remember this:
You’re not alone.
