Hope, Faith and Kate

Hope, Faith and Kate --- break ---

Out of the maelstrom of work,
Forth you stepped,
"Are you ok? We worry."
I know you meant, you,
But I let that slip,
I did not look you in the eye,
Why I cannot recall.
My soul sent forth a sigh,
The work piled still high,
We both lie you and I,
We both know that too,
We have both told each other.
"I am Fine"
Many times before.
At this times reply,
You left,
The maelstrom of work,
Filling the gap,
Where you stood.

It is always nice to know,
Someone cares.
Tommorrow, it may well be my turn,
To ask, "Are you ok?"
You will give the same answer,
But like now, you will know I care,
And you only have to ask,
Help is at hand,
Amidst this storm of paper and ink.

All I want to say is thankyou,
You give me hope,
You give me your support,
You never tell me what to do,
You have faith in me.
I believe in many wonderful things,
Fewer believe in me,
But Kate does,
And I guess,
I know why she said, "We worry",
Because WE believe in each other.
