everything

i look to you for comfort, reassurance, a thousand times spoken. 

"what do you want me to say?" you ask and i answer, "i want you to say a thousand times more, it will be alright, everything will be fine." 

and you do, after your silence and my tears and our frustration, say the right words, with the right conviction.  

i know you are not god, i know you are as powerless as i am in those times, but i need your strength, your optimism, your faith.  i need those words to bouy me, keep me uplifted.  

i hope all will hear those words often. if not, then listen closely, everything will be alright, everything will be fine.
