To Hold It All -
I was walking by the water
Played it over in my head
No matter how I thought about it
Still it don’t make any sense
I was thinking of your children
And this world we’re giving them
I know they will miss their mother
The same way I’ve been missing mine
When the grief takes over
I try to remember
That love is greater
Than anything
When the light gets darker
And I can’t find my way
I go walking by water
To watch the sun sets on the lake
I was taken by the beauty
Of the colours in the sky
And the birds they flew above me
Disappeared into the light
As if there for me to see
Something to be recognized
We are here for just a moment
There is so much to this life
I wish I could say, my dear
That it gets easier with time
Truth is I am only learning
How to hold it all at once
