When that was real and time suddenly slowed,

I stood alone, I wondered, I couldn’t hold

~

my own, I needed a shoulder, somewhere to talk,

couldn’t imagine the fear in every step I would walk.

~

The blur of what was seemingly important just

minutes before, became a trivial memory of dust.

~

When I look in your eyes, I only know I have a want

to be by your side, to hold you, to be your gallant.

~

I cried a little bit today when later I heard the news,

I didn’t know that suddenly my life would speak blues.

~

We’re fortunate to know our lives have brought us here

in a place where love and time and passion lives so near.

~

I look at you my beautiful son and wish that any fear,

might realize delightful relief in the eyes of a single tear.
