For someone

You didn’t know me,
but you let me share your life.
You took the time to feel my pain,
in the middle of your strife.

You added my extra burden,
to the weight of your own cross.
Thinking always of others,
in spite of your own loss.

I’m glad I got to share your journey,
though for far too short a way.
I know that we will share much more,
when we meet in heaven someday.
