Bequest of Tears

	In the quietness of my silent walls
	Where the shadows play the dance of you
	All around me – where each part once told your life
	Where the window still reflects your smile
	Still I feel you, still I'm trapped within our time
	Wondering vainly – why you left, my child
	When my fingers start to open your bequest
	Clutching tightly the lifeless book you left … for me

	In the quietness of my silent walls
	Where the shadows play the dance of you
	All around me where each part once told your life
	Where the window still reflects your smile
	Still I feel you, still I' m trapped within our time
	Wondering vainly why you left, my child
	When my fingers start to open your bequest
	Clutching tightly the lifeless book you left for me
