Resilience
I’m looking at your picture
My tears don’t seem to dry
I cannot break this feeling
I wouldn’t even try
I wish I’d never let you
fall from my embrace
Where once you rested calmly
There’s just an empty place
How loss has threatened once
It threatens now again
But this time we’ll hold on
It will not be like then
One family member taken
And torn from us before
But this time we’ll be ready
They won’t take any more
My tears don’t seem to dry
I cannot break this feeling
I wouldn’t even try
I wish I’d never let you
fall from my embrace
Where once you rested calmly
There’s just an empty place
How loss has threatened once
It threatens now again
But this time we’ll hold on
It will not be like then
One family member taken
And torn from us before
But this time we’ll be ready
They won’t take any more
