Your sorrow is your gift
Years of hurt, so noble
Effort to go on sublime
Tears are the starshine of joy
Your laurels are your heart
Shining from the center
The fullness of death
Even in the midst of life
Your face is your name
Your name is starlight
Light that shines
From the mirror of your eyes
Trauma is the gift
Loss the beginning of compassion
With kindness it’s response
Your light is your name
You are worthy of its power
The art of your life
Tears part of its beauty
Life whispers
You are deeply loved
