Holding Space
When the thing that happens to you happens
And your head is bowed in grief
When you’ve swallowed all your doubts
And you’ve lost all your belief
In those moments where you tremble
And those hours that you shake
When you’ve taken all you can
Only to find there’s more for you to take
When the tears that fall are silent
Because you’re choking on your rage
When the life you’ve planned is broken
And you feel alone upon the stage
Know then that I am with you
I am holding space for all your grief
And for every hurt that’s made you stronger
Somewhere there will be relief
All your faith has failed you
But my faith in you has never failed
You feel like everything is breaking
But your strength has always held
When the thing that happens hurts you
When you feel that it will never end
My belief will never falter
That’s what it means to be your friend.
