No Peace From Knowing

 
Let those little fingers speak
she said
I am safe  
in this better place
free of pain and regret
 
Tell your Daddy
It's OK
to take as long  
as he needs
I understand  
how hard it is
 
See
I'm no longer blind
and I'm happy to wait
until we can share  
such beautiful white light
without a worry in the world
our eternity  
always together
 
Tell him
Big boy
don't fret about death  
there ain't a lot to it
it's only the price  
of heaven
 
But I never did tell
how much the tears burned
as I tore up her note
all way too much
for a kid just seven
