I Have No Words
.
When my father fell, hit his head,
from that was shortly pronounced dead,
Sadness Reigned;
I cried and had no words.
.
Then, when my brother died, and,
it was found by his own hand,
Beyond Shock;
I cried and had no words.
.
After my mother died,
from old age, I sighed,
Basically Relieved;
I cried and had no words.
.
And, if you should someday die,
never mind the when or why,
yes, I'd cry, but, still would say,
I have no words.
For death just has no words.
