Every time
I see a child
Home sweet home
Happy go lucky
It makes my heart break
I break for many a reason
I break for joy
I break for death
I break for tears
I break for anger
See a child catches so much
A child remembers so much
A child interprets with so much emotion
A child grows
Flaws and all
To remember even slightly that day
Those important moments of youth
See we miss so much
That light in their eyes
That innocence shinning through
So many young lives
See so many imaginary graves
No body to bury
No memory to console
An innocent robbed
A life unconceived
A soul passing on before life
How can you feel
How do you move on
Pain is pain
Young or old
Lived or not lived
Felt literally or figuratively
You break
Every time
You see joy
You see pain
You see tears
You see smiles
But no one understands that pain
So for every child
Smiling or crying
Dead or alive
Even in spirit
You are a fighter
You are incredible
You can make it someday
No matter the pain
No matter the suffering
It'll all be over some day
We can survive
We can overcome
As a mother only hopes
We can grow old
We will end the pain
One day
Some how
So for now
Hold on
Mother to child
Child to mother
It can't last forever.
