Challenge
"Comfort food for the soul."
I'm quite down, fellow prosers. Times like these, only poetry soothes me. Please write a lovely poem about comfort or comforting somebody. Make it at least 50 words. Tag me because I want (need) to read.

Chicken Soup is comfort soup
So let's start to feel some better
I'll tell you, let you 'in the loop'
Like it's some secret letter
You are sad, you feel despair
To varying degrees
A bit upset like you don't care
Or right down on your knees
Where's a friend? a listening Lord
To validate your down
A confidant a sounding board
Not a person is around
You do not need a person but
It's nice if you have one
Guilt can sock you in the gut
Stuff was and wasn't done
Realize you aren't alone
Crying in our homes
We laugh, we try, we break our bones
Our bodies are on loan
Ride the wave of happiness
And know that I love you
Love the people who have less
And you will be less blue
