It changes shape; it changes colour; grief my friend; it changes you The clock will tick, but time won't heal Those words they say, aren't always real The healing, though, is in the feel The feel of tears, the feel of someone's comforting embrace The softest word with gentle grace The lightest touch Sun on your face Your mother's smile in someone's face Her words that echo on your path Lighting your way Out of the dark
As years tick on, and comfort comes You'll see her face right through the fog
And comfort comes right through the dark As beauty beckons her to your heart.
Written for my friend after her mother passed suddenly
