Can I help you with that?<\/p>\n
I wish I could.
\nI wish I could grant you peace.
\nI wish I could create joy for you.
\nI wish I could take your worries.
\nI wish I could digest your fears.<\/p>\n
For this is not merely empathy,
\nThis is love,
\nThis is friendship,
\nThat too in its most crude form.<\/p>\n
For I bear no gifts.
\nI dont bring presents.
\nI don’t have those.
\nNor can I afford them.
\nNor do I believe in such pleasantries.<\/p>\n
Rather I have the power to wish
\nAnd the will to make it real.<\/p>\n
So, I will wish for my friend.
\nI will wish for you.
\nFor it is the only thing I can give-\u00a0 a hope, a dream.<\/p>\n
Because reality says I cannot wipe out your sorrows,
\nI cannot lift your pains,
\nI cannot rectify the injustices.<\/p>\n
I cannot.
\nThat is your path, I’m told.
\nThat is your journey to endure.<\/p>\n
But I will rest my hand on your back,
\nAnd I will wish,
\nWish that it were not so,
\nWish that my feet fit in your shoes.
\nSmall or large,
\nI wish that I could drag them along a foreign path,
\nSo that you may rest your tired soles.<\/p>\n
For it’s only a wish that I can gift you.
\nBut that wish encapsulates every bit of my being.<\/p>\n
I wish,
\nAnd I believe.
\nI believe that such kindness makes wishes bear fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
