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
