Always

Too young to know, too pure to foe
the sorrow that dwells inside
You may not say what you feel,
but deep below I know
Reminders lurk behind every corner
and even the sunrise burns your soul
It's like walking on very thin ice
unsure of where to step, afraid to fall
Numb from the frozen wasteland ahead of you
You hold back tears;
no one deserving of your vulnerability
My imagination can't come close
but my love always will
Oh, how I wish you knew
the strength that comes from agony, annihilates fragility
Can pain bear beauty?
Because your beauty can bear pain
Why spend life missing the bar set so high above
while he whispers softly, you only need love
Carry the legacy in your choices
in your eyes, your laugh, your smile
This beautifully stitched pattern will never fall apart
If you just always remember to keep him in your heart

This poem is very close to my heart, as is the beautiful family it was written about.
