Losing You Never

The sun still shines strong

The moon still chooses to believe nothing's wrong

The stars twinkle every night

Telling the world all is right.

Here I stare at the days that go by

Wondering what happened and why

A single question seemingly overdue

Saying 'we lost you' seems ever so untrue.

A mother, a father, a sister, a family

Had you, our baby, sing songs so happily

We saw you, our sunflower, breathe out light and bloom

We love you, we say, to the sun, stars, and the moon.

Your radiant symphony spread across oceans

And our love follows in timeless devotions

We don't see you anymore, say the eyes

The mind, heart, and soul choose otherwise.

You are the mannerisms we now hold

Our living story constantly retold

The quiet warmth more precious than gold

The kind of love so soft yet so bold.

Your tender habits that time cannot erode

Revealing a new truth with every unfold

Your love fills our lungs with air made new

With every breath returning us back to you.

We walk a different ground

Where everywhere you are found

In every heartbeat, you say something again

In every step you lead us and sustain.

Losing you never happened

It is not a possibility that could be fashioned

As we stand your ground and see your world

As we breathe your air and listen to your word.

You, our baby, remain ever so present

Even more, we say, than any truth has been omnipresent

Whatever we lost is just everything we miss

We find it all beneath the manifoldness.

There you are, tucked so firmly

Right here, in us, you dance triumphantly

Not lost, not away, not an ounce less

Pure, gentle, fierce, and ever so with permanence.
