untimely death

How could I tell them the truth
their son lay lifeless and blue
his feet now clammy and cool
his eyes a colorless hue

How could I face them alone
their knees bent down on the floor
their words an echo forlorn
their faces in agony torn

How could I in duty go on
his memory still hovering near
the smell of his laughter adheres
the sky and the moon hide in fear

How could I in despair lose all hope
when I know life and breath He controls
quietly all my questions elope
and gently my tears He cajoles
