Keep Your Head Up

I seen the pain in your eyes,
Yesterday as you walked.
I seen a difference in your smile,
And the weird way you talked.
I noticed something was wrong.
But I chose to give you the time.
The time to calm yourself,
You know in me you can confide.
I’m sorry to hear about your dad.
I know now he is not doing well.
I’m sorry that his life is at risk.
I know inside you want to help.
I’m sorry that you are hurt,
And you want to cry out the ache.
Don’t worry Carolina,
It’s gonna be okay….
I have faith he’ll be fine.
Though my faith might not be enough.
Just know that I’m here for you.
Girl, Keep your head up.

*To my friend who is one of the happiest girls I know, and is sad right now because her dad is hospitalized and might not make it. * :(
