I Understand ~ Ruth Ann Mahaffey ~ Living Each Day

I understand your fears,
As I often have them too.
I understand your sadness,
And when you're feeling blue.

I understand your many thoughts
That keep running through your mind.
I understand the way you think,
You need not to define.

I understand the tears you shed
And for the reasons why.
I understand and think like you,
And know just why you cry.

I understand the times you feel
That things are just on loan.
I understand when you feel down
And feel you're all alone.

I understand when you're in need
Of a shoulder to cry on.
I understand when life seems dark,
Just before the dawn.

So when you're feeling sad and blue
Don't forget that I am here,
To chase those blues away
And make the sky turn clear.

You'll always have a friend in me
No matter where you go.
Just call on me and I'll be there
When you are feeling low.
