Could ya listen?

dougb.72572 1951 (Ontario)

Rhymed
Could you give
Just a moment
Something here to
Share with you.

Been troubling me
This past week
And I scarce know
What to do.

Oh I know you
Are quite busy
Checking time
And Sighing.

But I thought friends
Had a moment
To relieve some
Tears with touch?
