If I Could
By Counselor Britt-CEC
If I could take the pain away I would;
But how could I have known.
Your smile was so delightful
And your confidence so bold.
If I could make the doubt in your heart melt into asurity.
I would take the sorrow from your eyes and replace it with mounds of security.
But I can't
You are gone and I am left weeping of what could have been.
And wishing I could protect from what has come.
But we know the things of life and death can never be undone.
Life was but a whisper but it was not in vain.
Although you didn't live long you were worth it just the same.
