Questioning The Reality Of Loss

"Papa, Why Must We Choose?
Must We Lose The Ones We Love?"

"Mama, What Drives Us To Continue?
And Upholds Us From Falling?"

As Burdens Cover Our Souls
We Begin To Understand

Papa Says, "To Understand, We Must First Obtain Wisdom.
To Gain Power, Experiences Must Occur
Pain Must Be Felt
Loss Must Be Endured."

Mama Says, "Wisdom Is The Acceptance Of Responsibility.
Teach Others To Understand
Show Them What In Life
Drives Them To Continue
Explain What Has Held Them
From Falling

The Echo Returns, "We Must Choose
....The Ones We Love
....Understand Why
....Choose!

My Heart Says, "A Start
To
A New Beginning."
