Think of Me

When you are sad
Or lonely
Or hurting
Think of me.

When you are low
Or under fire
Or needing a hiding place
Think of me.

I will be your levy
Your rock
Your net.

I will not complain
Nor cry
Nor ask you why.

When you are naked
Or weary
Or needing
Think of me.

When you are crying out
Or holding back
Or caving in
Think of me.

I am not you.
I am the one you can always look for
Or down on
Or away from.

I don't mind being the doormat
Or the person who makes you
Feel better
Just so long as you're smiling.

Because you are beautiful
And unique
And smart
And holy.

Because you are everything I am not.

I will wear rose-tinted glasses
And never say a word
Nor seek thanks
Because I know I'm doing a service.

When you are not yourself
Think of me
And how lucky you are
That you have someone to think about.
