Reaching Out Poem by Mary Ryan

When you see me sitting alone—sit by me
When you see me walking alone—walk with me
When you see me standing alone—stand with me
When you see me crying alone—be there for me
When I need to talk—just listen to me

Sometimes I need a friend and so many times I’m so unsure about making the first move. So when you see me in need—respond to me.
Maybe then:

When I see someone sitting alone—I’ll sit by them
When I see someone walking alone—I’ll walk with them.
When I see someone standing alone—I’ll stand with them
When I see someone crying alone—I’ll be there for them
When someone needs to talk—I’ll listen to them
