Would You? Poem by Katherine Sessor

Would You?



If I fell into darkness
Would you show me the light?
If I began to slip away
Would you hold me tight?

If my soul began to cry
Would you wipe away the tears?
If I faced my darkness
Would you take away my fears?

If I was lost
Would you show me the way?
If I told you don't go
Would you stay?

If I needed you
Would you be there?
If I fell ill
Would you care?

If my life was in danger
Would you save me?
If I faded away
Would you remember me?

Would You? ?

Beautiful. The emotion is so near the surface, but controlled (like 'I am Sorry') into a strict form, which makes us feel it even more. I don't know you from a bar of soap (as my old granny used to say) , but every time I read this I want to hug it all better.

This is the question side of the coin that should never have to be answered or asked in the first place. GW62
