Friend, I Will Assist

Who will come
to put a hand on your shoulder
and say " Stand Up, Friend "?
Warming a heart like sunshine
from frosty fear, suffering or infernal injuries.
Stand up friend,
I offer my assistance.
Bringing you back from submission is my total will.
Find strength again,
discover delight once more -
your smile anew.
Working together, counselled determination
makes us mighty friends.
Faith. Who knows
when the sun will shine next?

Superb! Love where you went with this. Loved the phrase "shadowed suffering" as it depicts the looming darkness of it so very well. Beautifully penned, my friend. Thank you for sharing this with us, and good luck!
