Freight Train of Grief
A law like a freight train
carried them away;
coughing out the smoke of grief
darkening the day.
Two loving brown eyed sons
I’ll always keep inside.
That train kept carrying them away,
No matter how I tried.
Months stretched into years
while I dragged along the track.
Now the train has left me far behind,
and never will turn back.

My Deepest Wish
I’m hungry to devour your every sorrow;
thirsty to drink all your griefs for you;
longing to chase the wolf from your door;
aching to keep your pain away forevermore.
We’re lost from each other, my dark eyed sons;
but I’d keep all your sadness as mine, dearest ones.
I wish life would only take you to joyful lands,
and only bright days would lie in your hands.

Promises Frayed
With such a depth of sorrow,
I remember mistakes I’ve made;
I have no excuses for
the promises that frayed.
My longing for my two young sons
is more than you’ll ever know.
Although I know the fault that's mine,
my love will never let go.
And though I may not ever
see them on this earth again;
please will you let them understand
how I loved them way back when.
