Life goes on

life goes on

the sweetest sweet in my arms, so heavy

but I could carry her forever, as I could let

her sleep sprawled across my chest. 

life goes on, happiness,

and grief walks beside me, I can smile

and love, and cry tears of sorrow at the 

same time.

this is the life that goes on, parallel,

on this side, I smile in deep happiness,

on the other side, my arms are empty

and wanting that small weight of

infant Owen.

love and grief, I love, I grieve. 

I love, so I smile with a toddler

in my arms.
