I often
wondered
how it
would
feel
To have
something
dear to
me
lost
I often
wondered
would my
heart
heal
And could
anything
be worth
the
cost
I often
wondered
how it
would
feel
To have
something
dear to
me
lost
I often
wondered
would my
heart
heal
And could
anything
be worth
the
cost
Powerless
against mistrust
Unable
to prove otherwise
Nothing
left but to accept
Innocent
of accusations
Saddened
by the loss
Hoping
time will heal
Stunned
and without
reply
to the sharp
question
thrust at
this heart
For all
the hurt
– though words
are empty –
dear son
I regret
my part
I close my eyes
and see
a place
where the sea and
clouds share
one space
It is a scene
I wish
to paint
but details are
too blurred
and faint
How long before
I find
a way
to brush my fears
in oil
away
Please listen carefully
my heart
and do as I say not as
I do
It’s not easy to explain
this part
while trying to be a friend
for you
I know that you have learned
so well
to follow the narrow path
you see
Have faith and in time all
can tell
your love is as true as it
should be
