If There Were Words – Ward Thomas

If there were words
I might try to break the silence
With platitudes and guidance
Saying “time will heal the pain”
If there were words
I might say that I am sorry
Or start telling you stories
About how loss can be a gain

But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To ever help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
And it’s hard enough to breathe

If there were words
I might speak about her bravery
Every little way she saved me
Picked me up when I was hurt
If there were words
I might wander through the memories
Or count the way she’s with me
How it almost makes it worse

But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To ever help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
And it’s hard enough to breathe

But I know there is no better place
I can promise her to be
There is nothing else that I can say
To ever help you be at peace
When life brings us to our knees
And it’s hard enough to breathe
