My Light ~ TW - Loss

She didn't know the power

her hands could hold

She didn't know all the stories

she left untold

She didn't know the tears

she'd make us shed

or all the worries

we left unsaid.

She left before her last goodbye

before the tears left her eyes

before her mother opened the door

before "i love you" or "say no more"

Yet in her leaving

there's a feeling

of immense sorrow and joy

There's a light

that shines so bright

no one can destroy

For she's the tree growing in your backyard

and that new star in the sky.

My light
