Like A Traffic Cop In A Street-less Town


Some days
Some people 
Get up
And do not feel
Like getting up
Their world
Has gone to hell
In the proverbial
Hand basket

This is when
Those who are not
Feeling down
Or even grumpy
Need to shut up
Swallow the words
"Cheer up"
And just stand there
Like a fellow human
And allow the person
To feel your presence

It's a tough thing to do
But it's essential
It takes a while to learn
this essential skill
But to be able
To stand 
Or even sit
Silently
While a friend
Works it out
Is a gift

Took me awhile
To figure that out
But I think
I've got it down
