I come to you with healing hands <br /> to make you feel better. <br /> I'll be your company <br /> until the lonesome darkness comes. <br /> Tell me you're better <br /> tell me to stay <br /> to hold you lovingly <br /> and take the pain away. <br /> When you walk tightropes <br /> way up in the sky <br /> balancing on false limbs <br /> the cancer walking beside you. <br /> I'll look up and cheer you on <br /> catching you if you fall. <br /> Tell me you're better <br /> tell me to stay <br /> to hold you lovingly <br /> and take the pain away. <br /> You walked away suddenly <br /> no more needed care <br /> you wore health's halo new <br /> my tears of gladness in your hair <br /> healing love was there.<br /><br />Michael L.
