• you told me
    the sky is blue,
    and the sea is too.

    youn told me
    the sea is big,
    and so are tears.

    you told me
    that everyone crys,
    that i'm not alone.

    you showed me
    how to smile and laugh,
    and sing.

    you showed me
    how to cry and kick,
    and scream.

    you explained
    why the leaves fall,
    where the sun goes.

    you said
    it would be okay,
    that everything heals.

    you said
    "i love you,"

    and i whispered back
    "i love you too Mom,"
