Monica 2

by

Daniel Chapa

A darkness exists in Monica's eyes
A heart weathered by many stormy skies

Lost two children before they came home
Carry's a pain that many haven't known

A stillness beginning deep within her womb
Silence of a heart leaving earth to soon

She contemplates the early death
Between her wisps of shallow breath

And I see the way she mourns that child
A road I've walked for many solumn miles

Through her tear stained eyes and empty smiles
We survived the worst of this life's trials

So hold my hand, I'll walk you through this door
You ask only for love, and I bring you a mile more

I pull happiness from my pocket
And hold it in my hand
Help you find the mystery
In our father's plan

I'll expose you to a world
Where the sadness never lasts
The moments that you treasure
exist in every fluttered eyelash

Never think about those things
That stole the sparkle from your eye
Your future is filled with sunny days
And the sunshine I will supply.
