What You Have Taught Me

That people don’t always understand,
but they still care

The pain of emptiness never goes away,
but it does fade

How to be angry,
but also to accept things

Things don’t always go as planned,
but they work out in the end

Tragedy is difficult,
but it brings people closer together

To feel bitter,
but not to take life for granted

I am truly amazed at all you have taught me

Having never spoken,
Having never breathed air,
Having never seen my face,

You have taught me so much my little son, Jared.
