As I looked into your eyes
I saw a deep ache.
-a yearning for what was
and a hope
for what will never be.

And
For that
I am sorry.
I am so sorry
that so quickly
a lifetime is over.

That all the love in your heart
could not save him.
That all the love in my own heart
could not bring him back.

As I looked into your eyes
I saw a deep love.
A reflection
of those who have raised you
and those you have raised.

And
with that
you should feel pride
You should feel a deep pride
knowing that all that you have lived for
and all that you will die for
will culminate
and manifest
into love and life
everlasting.

And that
is not a something
for just anyone.
