After nearly thirty years
Wars
Separation
Exile
Struggle
Loss
Exhaustion
Elation
And two amazing gifts
We are entangled despite the silence you maintain
Linked despite the barriers you put up
Your second fall into this darkness
Memories of all of mine
You cannot work
So I work for both of us
You cannot plan
So I plan for both of us
You cannot talk
So I talk for both of us
You cannot cry
So I cry for both of us
You cannot hug
So I hug for both of us
This also will pass
