They Just Show Up
Popular Poems Topics for You.
They didn't ask what they could do,
they simply came and brought the food,
they sat beside me in the dark
and matched me where I stood.
They didn't need an explanation
or a breakdown of my grief—
they just arrived and remained there,
steady, quiet, like relief.
The greatest gift a friend can give
is not advice or well-said words—
it is their presence, unannounced,
more comfort than they've heard.
