I can't imagine

I won't feel pity
nor will I say sorry

I'll tell her
You are strong

Stronger than those lost bones
Than the lost flesh

I can't imagine

not touching the ground
even if I'm always in the clouds

I can't imagine not walking to my bed
even when I'm always there

to never touch the bathtub floor
water flowing around my toes

I know you're afraid
and scared of a sudden loss

You've lived a long life
I know you can overcome this
and heal

It'll take a while for the light to come in

It takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach earth
You've seen it come and go
for over sixty years

Let us see it a few more
