Nothing I Can Do Poem by Jan E Smith

You are young and full of life,
and have so much to give.

But sadness cuts you like a knife,
and makes it hard to live.

Don't you see the good in you?
The person that I see.

All the great things that you do?
They mean so much to me.

It breaks my heart to see you sad,
alone, or feeling blue.

And knowing that you hurt so bad,
with nothing I can do.

For as you said before my friend,
there's nothing I can say

to bring your sadness to an end,
or make it fade away.
