When the whole world goes dark
I want you to know I have your hand
I will hold it tightly on my chest
so that you can listen to the rhythm of the heart
I will wrap you in a blanket
and watch your tummy moving up and down
I will count your heartbeats
and pauses between breaths
I will whisper words into your ears
to comfort your crying soul
I will show you how to let go
when holding on is the only option
I will paint you a picture of the future
that you are blind to see
I will dance in sorrow
when the body stands frozen
When the whole world goes dark
I will be there
And when the light returns,
I will be there
