Are you There
shakira ross 1979 (Bronx)
As tears fall ,I raise my head to the sky
I’m listening, there is no need to cry
Stop claiming defeat
And lay it at your feet
I hear you,
I’m here to see you through
Since the day you were born
Together we have been weathering the storm
My heart knows your near,
But my mind is battling if your here
Do you even care...
Are you there..
My child , I am here
Battling emotions that say you don’t care
Are you there
Show me a sign
I’m sorry if I’m out of line
Again I ask , are you there
Don’t shed anymore tears, for I am here
