I Care

My friends are getting older, getting a little forgetful

Their bodies have so much pain at times. they repeat their stories.

They get lost easy and get so turned around

They have trouble with their phones and don't understand much of new technology

They have lost spouses to death, and been left and divorced some have no family left.

They have relationship hurts sometimes I have to listen to it many times, I do because I care.

I care when people are sad, I care when they are happy. I want to look at their pictures I want to hear their stories.

I don't care if it's the millionth time I've heard them. I care.

I care if they are still not over that relationship and they talk about it over and over. I will listen.

I want to hear about all the things that make them happy or sad, what they are struggling with, or that small thing that they do over and over again that makes them, who they are. Even if it gets annoying, I will laugh at their quirkiness.

They dont embarrass me and they don't tire me out.

I want to be that person that always listens, and truly cares.

I want them to have a safe place to be who they are and feel like someone understands them

Even if I don't understand everything... I will be there and hear them out. Even if it runs into the late night hours

I will support them tell them the truth yet I will always be kind.

I will put myself in their place and try to imagine how would I feel if I was in their place.

I care and I will be a friend.
