Sweetheart, I promise
You are not alone
The day you stood strong
We. All. Wept.
And you kept your chin up
And stretched a smile across your face
And we, well we were wrecked
Shedding your tears
Feeling your pain
But then the unthinkable happened
Yes darling, it happened twice
In one month
In the time it took you to run for class president
Or the time it took to prepare a solo to play in orchestra
In the amount of time it took to take a deep breath from the hidden tears
Your world had shattered
And then we knew
You were in pieces
We sobbed silently to ourselves
So you wouldnt see us cry
Just as you had done the same
And we hold your hand and wipe your tears

And you're never alone
You had us the day we had to stand strong
And let you weep
Were working on holding your chin up
And cracking a smile every now and then
The love and support you have is so immense
And that's what makes you beam
In the darkest of hours
