The words
You're lying right next to them tonight, and you've never felt so alone. You haven't said a word, because you don't know where to start.
I heard the silence in your house tonight. Every word you swallowed, every time you almost reached over and didn't. None of it went unheard.
Scripture says a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. You are two. Let me be the third.
Tonight, don't wait for the perfect words. Turn toward them, and say one small true thing. I'll be right here in the hallway.
A verse to hold on to
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (KJV)
