May Your Pain Be Eased

I see tears rolling in your eyes, wouldn’t drop I hear your breath choking, on days’ long sobs I feel your body shaking, wouldn’t stop I know your heart bleeding, bearing the loss Oh how can I ease your pain That’s heavier than the mountain, That’s deeper than the ocean You tell, I find no hope for the weight to be lighter I say, just believe, healing begins not much longer So believe, my dear, and just wait Then you will realize and you will see He rests now in peace, he is set free No more fighting, no more struggling No more torturing, no more suffering He exits the world of abyss He enters the kingdom of heaven There, he is serene as gentle breeze He walks light as a feather fleets He strokes your hair gently in your dream And you hear his voice whispering in your sleep “Be still, my child, do not feel dreary I now live with peace, with no more query” So believe, my dear, and just wait The gentle breeze will come to brush your eyes Then, your eyes blink, so the tears drop And you breathe, to release the sobs Now your body is calm, the shaking stops And the wound starts to heal, the pain peters out You remember him with love and sweetness You speak of him with warmth and tenderness You open your eyes and see him shining in sun rays And you tell again, with corners of your mouth raised “Daddy, I am fine, you rest in peace, I will find you everywhere with my mind at ease.”
