We are safe for the moment
We are loved at this time
I am grateful to be together
And bask in the sublime
To hear them laugh
To see them smile
To shed a tear
Crash for a while
The world will continue
And this too shall pass
Holding on to happiness
And making each moment last
I call my parents
Just to hear their voice
To know they are okay
Fills my heart with joy
And I hear them laugh
I miss their smiles
I shed a tear
And feel better after a while
The world will continue
And hope will return
The sun still rises each day
And infants are still being born
Hear their cries
Well they’re just getting attention
Hear their sighs
Content without pretention
So it’s okay to cry
We need to once in a while
Sometimes we sigh
Before we can stand and smile….
I hear them laugh
I see them smile
I shed my fears
And play for a while…
