Trust me, we have looked
To no avail
In pendants, in photos
Symbols that are not you
We lost you before
For your time had come
And our time frozen
In wait
But we found warmth
In the words you left behind
Words you use to counsel the heavens
Words that thaw the ice
Of our of trying state
And now the family
You never knew
Knows you
And I know you again
Now that I have
Found your voice
In mine
