Returning Silence

I did not ask for this silence

I’d like to return this silence

-

I’d like to hear her voice once more

And hear her giggle filled laughter

I’d like to hold her hand

And cradle her head in my lap

I’d like to wipe tears away from her cheek

And help her chase her dreams

-

I’d like to return this silence

I did not ask for this silence
