Uneven Odds

Sleeping At Last

I once knew your father well
He fought tears as he spoke
Of your mother? s health

I guess a part of him just couldn? t return
Forgiveness is the lesson
He cursed you to learn

As your guardian, I was instructed well
To make sense of god? s love in these fires of hell

Now I don? t expect you to understand
Just to live what little life
Your broken heart can

Maybe your light is a seed
And the darkness, the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds
Beauty lifts from the earth

As the years move on
These questions take shape
Are you getting stronger
Or is time shifting weight?

No one expects you to understand
Just to live what little life
Your mended heart can

You? ll always remember
The moment god took her away
For the weight of the world
Was placed on your shoulders that day

Maybe your light is a seed
And the darkness, the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds
Beauty lifts from the earth

You? re much too young now
So I? ll write these words down
Darkness exists
To make light truly count
