For my “son” Pasha
For you
If I could
I would take away
The pain
Just to see you smile once more
And hear your laughter
If I could
I would take away
The sickness
For you
Because you’re too young
To bear its burden
I would open the skies
For you
If I could
To wash away the disease
That’s taken so many
I’ve known
And I will shed a tear
For you
Which I have
With prayers of survival
And love
And hope
