Let Love Do the Rest

Knowing leads to pain
And joy
But never to wasted moments

For we can all do with the lessons
Of strength
Of endurance
Of support

For that is what we are here for
To learn
To love
To endure

The suffering of a child is not a small thing
For they feel everything
And know not how to shut down
That must be learned over time
By observation
By oppression
By dictation

Remember you when such a thing happened
What words did you crave
When the darkness fell
And your world ended

Use that as a template
Use your own words
And let love do the rest
