Egg Shells
Egg Shells
Don't be mad,
I am right here.
I have not left at all.
I simply grew quiet,
as I did not want to add...
to your burdens,
to your pains.
I know that you hurt every day.
I see "it" in the way you walk.
I watch how you hunch over...
at times.
I pray for you,
even though you do not believe.
I pray for you,
because you want,
and you need
someone too.
Life makes you upset at the world.
I am here to remind you of flowers,
and birds,
dogs with long tails,
and cats with soft feet.
I sing silently,
as not to wake you from a nap.
I sing to the Lord,
and ask him to bring you...
healing,
and even more importantly,
what you truly need.
I have put...
all my eggs in the basket.
My great grandmother...
she would be mad at me.
I did not listen at all.
Yet if "you" are gone,
then there is no reason,
I am here.
