What do you say to that mother who’s heard everything except her son say her name?
What can you say to that mother who lost a boy who could be you?
What will you say to that mother when you stand in front of her?
I thought I would say something grand.
I thought I wanted to say something heartfelt.
I thought I wished to say something real.
But…
all I did say was…
“I’m Sorry”
How foolish.
