MAY by Joanne Boyle


"MAY"
by Joanne Boyle

May I share your troubles
and help to lessen your load?
May I walk beside you
when you walk a winding road?
May I call you up each day
if just to say "hello?"
May I help you with your shopping
when you don't want to go?
May I put your kettle on
and make you a hot drink?
We can sit in silence
if you need some time to think.
May I help you with your washing
as its the last thing on your mind?
May I stay in the background
but be somewhere you can find?
May I hug you when you need it
but keep my distance when you don't?
May I help you wash your face
when I know you won't?
May I bring you a meal
when you don't want to eat?
May I bring myself one too
and sit on the opposite seat?
May I do these deeds for you
until you don't need me anymore?
But when May turns into June
I'll still be at your door.
