For you
If I accomplish this, it will not have come from me. If you are still near, may you hear my tears all this wishing you back to life at 38, somehow not secure enough to be without you let alone now near 11 years since you have left I do have a son who speaks of his ancestors this life I have been given was at no small cost to you or to ong noi you sacrificed comfort of that which was known to you you traveled to a far away land that may not have completely opened their arms wide for you and you built a home, a family you kept us together your sadness and weight in this life I'll never truly understand I pray my heart continues to speak to yours so that even in death, I may know you deeper still. I hope I'm making you proud.
