time has kept me company
bandaged my broken self
I had coal for a heart once
flowers bloom here instead
one day I'll have an angel of my own
infant eyes who will seek me for answers
one day I'll have to wipe their familiar tears
of pain and heartbreak
old friends I had almost forgotten
but at least I'll know what to say -
sweet one, little one
you will hurt the people you love
the ones you love will hurt you too
but the ones who love you back will help you heal
you will grow from the moments you can't undo
