When there are no words…

(For my daughter)

When there are no words to tell you that my spirit aches for the deep sorrow in your soul…
     …to indicate to you of my heartbreak for the loss of a part of your heart…
     …to reveal the lamenting of my spirit for the unfulfilled growth and plans…
     …to declare the unrighteous anger I feel for your sake…

When there are no words to enunciate the torment in my chest for the suffering  in your spirit…
     …to articulate the helplessness of not being able to reduce your grief…
     …to lighten the heaviness of your distress…
     …to disclose my deep condolences…

When there are no words to lift the depression in your soul…
     …to  dispel the bleakness in your mind…
     …to give hope for the future…
     …to administer happiness…

When there are no words to express the anguish of having no words…I weep with you.

When there are no words, just know that I am here, and that I love you.
