A Tiny Bird Named Sorrow

There is a tiny space in my heart

Where a little bird named Sorrow sings for you

She remembers the space where you lived, when you grew inside of me

She remembers your heart beat

She remembers your kicks

She remembers the fullness, the gentleness of you

Before you left to enter the world

She remembers what it was like to be the only one to hold you, where no one else could

She remembers the sweet sorrow when you left

She longs for you

She sings her sweet songs for you

Every time you say a new word

Every time your clothes get smaller

Every time you to grow more into this world

She sings to remember her time with you

She sings to fill the space you left

She will sing for you for the rest of my life
