Everything speaks your name
Bringing back memories of joy, and pain.
Watching the water, the waves that roll
Feeling you pour through my very soul.
I search and I search and hope to find
One single footprint you left behind.
Can you see me, and do you know
The longing and sorrow of missing you so?
I look down at my shadow and think about you
Still going with me in all that I do.
At times I am walking on such a thin line,
Alone on this journey that’s unwillingly mine.
Oh warmth of the sun in blue sky above,
Just send me one ray from this child that I love.
The gulls circle madly, their cries are my voice.
“Why did this happen? Why was there no choice?”
Oh waves cleanse my sorrow at least for today.
Oh Father, Mysterious, show me the way.
