She Replied
In a moment
I saw my children crumble
The news of death
is once again upon us
As I look at my youngest daughter
I ask:
Are you sad? "Yes", she replied
Are you lonely? "Yes", she replied
Are you angry?"Yes", she replied
Do you miss him? "Yes", she replied
Do you need a hug? "Yes", she replied
We hug and cry together
Then I ask:
Do you love me? "Yes", she replied
I said, "I love me too!"
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!"
That was the first smile I've seen in days!
