Look at me
                 Smile
Follow me
                 Laugh
Hold my hand
                 Grasp
Have fun
                 Dance
Stop the silence
                 Sing
Talk to me
                 Explain
Tell me what’s wrong
                 Cry
Give me warmth
                 Hug
Lay down and rest
                 Sleep
Listen to my voice
                 Heal
Feel me as I touch
                 Believe
Move at least a finger
                 Try
Wake up
                  Breathe
Take me with you
                  Live
