Tears on the shore
TEARS ON THE SHORE
It was the morning after
A young man
Our soul nephew
Had made his way to Earth
~
We walked across the sand
They both wanted you
I slowed down
Sometimes I do this
Just to watch you with them
~
You lent down and swooped them up
Her under your right arm
He under your left
Like they weighed a feather
~
You walked them through the water
So strong they melted with you
Do you know how safe you make us feel?
With you there’s nothing we can’t do
~
I could hardly breathe
The vision hit me right in my chest
There’s the man I love
With the kids I grew
The sun beaming through
~
My eyes welled on that shoreline
Maybe my whole life has been leading to this moment
So sublime I could hardly move
~
They called me to join them
My daughter splashed and squealed
“Mummy mummy is this heaven?”
Baby girl yes
We are here
