WHAT DO I SAY?

What do you say

When the words don't matter

the hole in our hearts

when ache of missing

Is more gripping them

the memories of having

who will the child inside

cling to

when the one who rocked us

In her arms is gone

where do the tears, anger, frustration

and loneliness travel

when we are left alone

our faith our anchor

Their voices in our head and hearts

The compass

Our goal to honor them

Is the gift given at birth

We, those left behind

A day, months, year or years

Are calling upon love

To guard and guide us

For this pain is like no other

It's lessons are unclear

so we keep it moving

One deep breath

Internal tears

Living

External tears

Believing

In another place, space and time

We will accomplish our living purpose

Meeting them at the appointed time

Knowing what to say

for all that ever mattered

back then, now and into tomorrow

is

I love you
