In my hands I hold yours

So precious and small

And I stare at what has been done

You where that little girl 

Who would dance and sing

Laugh out loud with no care in the world

How much life you had

Yet now

You look on with no life in you

For your body 

is no longer yours anymore

I see how blood trickles down your legs

I look at your face and arms which are bruised

And the brokenness of your soul that hold my eyes gently 

You have marks of men who have sinned against you

Man with ungodly minds who God even regrets giving life too

I stand where the river once met the moon

How impossible it seems

Yet It happened

You hold yourself as you tumble

I hold your limp body as your soul travels

No more sorrow for your little body

No more pain

No more
