We called you TariroOur hope for the future
We dreamt on
Lifting dreams
Upon dreams
We watched you grow
A ray of sunshine
A promise of things to come
The joy that lit our lives
We let you go
Hoping you would come back
The joy taken from our lives
Sadness creeping in on us
Loneliness eating
The core of our hearts
Tea cups in hand
We sat by the window
Eyes on the road
Ears strained
Hoping
The nights wore black
The heart listened
We could no longer hope
For a chapter
That had been closed
In our life
God had only lent us
A page of your life.
