Soft

I
hear
your
voices
in
the
quiet
I
carry
the
pieces
of
you
inside
I
remember
the
warmth
of
a
hand
I
can
no
longer
hold
Dad
left
early,
the
world
felt
bitter
and
cold
I
was
just
a
seedling,
roots
barely
deep
in
the
ground
Then
Mom
drifted
away,
and
there
was
no
one
around
The
house
went
silent,
the
shadows
grew
long
and
tall
Just
a
boy
in
the
hallway,
waiting
for
a
curtain
call
I
struggled
with
the
books,
the
weight
of
the
grief
in
my
head
Missing
the
stories
and
the
nightly
prayers
that
you
said
Oh,
the
garden
is
growing
though
the
winter
was
long
Iā
m
finding
the
rhythm,
Iā
m
finding
the
strength
of
a
song
From
the
echoes
of
loss
to
the
light
of
the
day
I
have
won
I
am
the
branches,
and
you
are
the
stars
and
the
sun
Academic
mountains
I
had
to
climb
on
my
own
With
a
heavy
heart
and
a
soul
that
felt
so
alone
Failed
tests,
tired
eyes,
wondering
where
to
belong
But
deep
in
my
spirit,
your
love
was
keeping
me
strong
I
clawed
through
the
darkness,
I
fought
for
the
dream
in
my
chest
Trying
to
prove
that
I
stood
up
to
the
ultimate
test
I
finished
the
race,
I
hold
up
the
torch
to
the
sky
Knowing
youā
re
watching,
knowing
youā
re
never
really
goodbye
Oh,
the
garden
is
growing
though
the
winter
was
long
Iā
m
finding
the
rhythm,
Iā
m
finding
the
strength
of
a
song
From
the
echoes
of
loss
to
the
light
of
the
day
I
have
won
I
am
the
branches,
and
you
are
the
stars
and
the
sun
And
to
those
who
stepped
in
when
the
table
was
bare
Who
offered
a
shoulder,
who
offered
a
lifetime
of
care
You
took
the
broken
pieces
and
you
stitched
them
in
place
You
showed
me
the
mercy
of
a
warm
and
a
steady
embrace
Thank
you
for
seeing
the
man
I
was
trying
to
be
For
watering
the
soul
of
a
child
who
was
lost
at
the
sea
Oh,
the
garden
is
growing
though
the
winter
was
long
Iā
m
finding
the
rhythm,
Iā
m
finding
the
strength
of
a
song
From
the
echoes
of
loss
to
the
light
of
the
day
I
have
won
I
am
the
branches,
and
you
are
the
stars
and
the
sun
Iā
m
walking
in
joy
now
Because
of
the
love
that
you
left
behind
To
my
parents,
to
my
family,
to
the
guides
of
my
life
I
made
it
through
I
am
whole
I
am
here (
Fade
out
with
soft
piano
melody)
