what if we mourn how we need to? - February 19, 2023
a poem about xxxxxxxxxxxxx
the children

what if we mourned how we wanted to?
what would life look like?
would the world stop for us?
would we have a break for our grief?

what if we mourn how we want to?
what if we took a day for each name?
would we have enough time for ourselves?
would we remember everyone to grieve?

what if the world mourned how we wanted to?
what would life look like?
would the whole world stop for us all?
would we all break to hear our grief?

what if the world mourned how we want to?
what if the world took a day for each name?
would we have enough time for a generation?
would we all remember everyone to grieve?

what if we mourned how we needed to?
what would life look like?
would we stop the world for us?
would we make the earth break for our grief?

what if we mourn how we need to?
what if we make a day for each name?
will we make enough time for ourselves?
will the whole earth be healed as we grieve?
