The dawn nagged to awake me
In light of the new day
Excited of milestones small and sweet
The commencement of a new time
Bathed in ruby robes
Under which was the sound of little feet
On such joyous of occasions
One forgets the world
And splashes in the laughter from the heart
But little did I know that when
The playful we came home
There was something lurking
Waiting in the dark
A red light flashed insistently
That I should pay it mind
And a voice filled the celebrated air
The glitter turned to ashes
As the evil clouds rolled in
To hear of news so tragic and unfair
The murder of a mother
And the loss of my friends father
Both hit me like a Semi in the skid
I could not believe
please let it be my ears deceived
That an old neighbor had done the things he did
Now batten down the hatches as the winds blow unsecured
Life sends another hurricane my way
Secure her in her mooring
And weather out the storm
While we wait we'll try to have fun anyway
This sharp and harsh reminder of the fickleness of life
Draws my focus to the reason I remain
But for the warning in my heart
I am determined to do my part
And try to bring them comfort for the pain
While in my mind I grieved
It was in love my heart believed
When a tiny face so beautiful and fair
Looked up and smiled at me
A rescue from reality
With his embrace I finally found
The strength to breathe
