Comfort Person by Lucy Kelly
Everyone has a comfort person that helps elevate their days. A Smile, a laugh or a hug will do to lighten up the weight. The pressure of life is a heavy load that grows trial by trial and its funny how that load can be lightened by a person for a while. The person you call late at night, the whole world on your case. That person that can pull you back with a just warm embrace. Someone you can trust and cherish that lasts through everything. The person that turns the cold winter into Joyous spring.
Sometimes your person decides to move on, to start a new at life. So far away your light has flown leaving nothing but strife. Though you love them and owe them the world and wish them all the best, that never stops the sharp pain deep within your chest.
The feeling of loss and sadness, merely hours away. What do I do now that my light is gone, there’s nothing more to say? So, my comfort person left me and I don’t know what ill do. So, I wish them the best and pray they’re blessed, receiving all they’re due.
I’ve grieved, cried and laughed through the pain, now our lives begin to start again.
However, through the darkness a wondrous thing, with eyes like the sky and a smile like spring. A soul that sings through the slightest grin that gives me hope for what’s bound to begin. Safe, loved and heard, like chimes in the breeze. feeling happy once more begins to come with ease.
So, I thank God for you above all,
Because Stars shine the brightest through darkness after all.
