Loss And Triumph
Loss and Triumph
You will always be the deepest part of me
Though I may but rarely pass and see
How life affects you, how it makes you grow
If you fail or prosper, will I know?
Forgive my having left you here,
My heart's whole hope, my children dear.
Cruel circumstance has forced my hand
To pursue my fate in a foreign land
To which I dare not take you, thus I leave
You to another's care
In hopes that they may spare
You from such troubles as I face,
To raise you in a happier place
Until such time as fate may grant me to return
To reclaim that for which I ever yearn -
To you, my darlings, whom I shall not forsake
Though distance part us far and wide,
Within my heart you by my side
Until that day, whenever it may break,
That brings us back together,
That seals us close, forever.
Yet now a new day comes;
I return to you, my precious ones
Against all odds, against all fates
I return to you, yet once again
We may share the suns
Of days together free of pain,
Rejoice in how long patience waits
To deliver us from darkest days
To give us back our wonts and ways,
Time has changed us through its duress;
Marked us with each day's distress
Yet through it all you remain my dears,
So as now shall be all our coming years.
