To Have Experienced
Unspeakable horror and unwholly described tragedy
 Pain pronounced in every pair of eyes
 Attempting to hold upon the last bit of composure
 To contradict your frightened child's cries
 
 Such vulnerability as never before accumulates
 Do not know what to anticipate, you, as it surrounds
 Warily taking in every forbidding and unfamiliar detail
 As an immense and thunderous silence resounds
 
 What has brought you to this intimidating place
 That fills you with an uncomprehendable heartache
 For your own bed and a mother's assuring touch
 Trying to display deliberate strehgth for a weaker one's sake
