I think of you all the time.
You are the object of my empathetic grief.
I am sorry for your loss.

I sit for you.
You have been wronged by this country, I shall not stand for its song until they have helped.
I have done my part.

I let my friends and family know I feel bad for you.
You are the daily topic around here.
Of course you would understand.

I plan on doing something for you, like donating a dollar or two.
You have been given money.
It surely is enough.

I reposted a meme about you.
You have been such a great sport about all this.
I sure do feel bad about your incident.

I pray for you.
You are in my daily thoughts and prayers.
You can do this.

I,
I see you.
I see what you have been forced through.
I am inspired by your unmeasurable pain, and move.
I am planning a way to help you.
I talk to the news
I talk to everyone I know
I send carefully worded messages to them all.
I send heart string tugging letters, begging for help.
What do they do?




They send back that you have my thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers are useless, they make no difference. What actually helps is action.
