After Anabelle

For Anabelle: 

The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,

but it never fails to bring music to my ears.

If you really are my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of her name.

It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

For Alexander: 

Reach out your hands.

We will not let you fall.

Give us your love and trust.

We will not betray you.

Teach us once again the joy of living.

Pam Brown
