Something to say with it

A verse means more with a sentence from you. A few places to start:

  • No need to reply. I'm so sorry, and I'm here.
  • I don't have the right words, but I didn't want to say nothing.
  • Thinking of you today and praying for you.
  • I'm not going anywhere. Whenever you want company, I'm here.
