There’s much to be said about little things
A scarf or a pin and your sweet wedding rings
The pieces of you that are left from a life
When you gave your heart being mother and wife
Oh, what joy those little things bring.
There’s much to be said of our memories
When talking with you was done with such ease
How precious in life those “Mom chats” are
With topics we covered on the phone from afar
Sometimes I wish that time we could freeze.
There’s much to be said of a broken heart
That mourns the trauma that tore us apart
The depth of my sorrow is too deep to share
Of having to say, “Goodbye” to you there.
I wonder if sadness will ever depart.
There’s much to be said of a muted glee
What I lost through death, in turn set you free
The cancer, the pain that you have endured
Your body and spirit are now fully cured
This belief in my soul, it comforts me.
There’s much to be said about little things
A look or a smile, or songs we would sing
The thoughts of you that are left from a time
Too rich and too full to be captured in rhyme
Oh, such endearment these little things bring.
