how you help

your words help
even when you don't know
what to say

your questions help
even if i don't have
any answers

your sighs help
even if i don't know
why you're mad

your cries help
even if i can't hear them
over my own

you help
more than you'll ever know

because with you
i live
and through you
i feel

and even if all you do
is be

the strength through you
will run through me

and i will feel hope again
