the whisper of my heart

they saw a setback where i felt a death

they sent a card when i craved a funeral

they've long forgotten while i remember on

"how many children do you have?" they ask

"two," i say, while my heart whispers three

and i hold them all, two in arms and one in heart

"he will wipe every tear from their eyes.

there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,

for the old order of things has passed away."
