Two Little Babies

Two Little Babies My poor heart was crushed and broken; Into pieces long ago. Though in time the pieces mended; Two are missing, don't you know? At the table two chairs set empty; There's always too much dinner in the pot. My life is formed in two divisions; Who I have and who I do not. Will they laugh and run to meet me? When I cross that golden strand? Will they fill my face with kisses? Will they take me by the hand? For you see I am their Momma; And I have always faithful been. Will they be so glad to meet me; In that place that knows no sin? I carried my children deep inside me. In a place so near my heart. Two are here and walk beside me. Two to heaven did depart. Years have passed they aren't forgotten; They are real as you and me. There are many things my Darling; That are real we cannot see. If I live a thousand summers; I will never understand. How can you help but love your Baby? And tend it's needs as best you can?

Well caught and scribed, Wanda! When a traditional Apache dies, his/her name is never spoken again lest the sound disturb them from focusing on their new life, (i.e., a reason happy, well-fed babies cry) but I find the departed endure in one's dreams for a lifetime, so you are never alone.
