[ Tempest ] - Emotional

[ Tempest ]

I hold my daughters as they weep

Stricken with emotions

Their foundation crumbled

Their fears as vast as oceans

The depth of this sorrow

Sinking in remorse

For the ship no longer sailing

That will never meet its course

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuWi6XPKwW

So I hold my girls tight

So they know that they are safe

And the decisions made for them

Have only sought to take

The things they knew and cherished

Now lost like many others

To form a vast of disconnection

That now draws them to a shudder

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyctk9Edxbv

And I see the weight of fear

Hesitant to pull the anchor

As they try to cling to past

That is now only a stranger

Longing for a reunion

Yet seeing only death

As the vessel swallowed, sunken

To the perilous of depth

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCnHAU6JTo

So I speak of a great love

That they may find a strength

To rise above the heartbreak

And not fall, sinking into hate

For although there’s pain and sorrow

The sun will rise each day

And the light that casts the shadows

Is a light that they’ll portray

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VCzrI09JD

These vessels, young in master

Though readied at the helm

To be skippered on this voyage

So that they will never drown

Forced to face the obstacles

The storms that rage through life

Weathered yet withstanding

As they face it in their might

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZzUAUuAa8

These are children here before me

Who should have never known this loss

Who deserved to have their world

Without struggle and exhaust

But instead, like many others

Have been tossed amongst the seas

And must now learn how to survive

Lest they be overcome by grief

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNs9RQcKC4

For there are thieves in these waters

And all the ships below

Tell of other pains and sorrows

And travesties to soul

Tales we should be mindful

So that we may never sail

The same course once plot before us

Where the murky waters ail

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAS3Jfjjql

For now I hold them in my arms

In the hopes of bringing comfort

And I speak truth to their hearts

So they may heal from what they suffer

And as the waves and tides collide

They will not cower, feeling menaced

But will rise, in strength resounding

All set to steer them through the tempest
