Of Course,
Of course your grief
is this big, and wide, and deep.
Of course.
Of course.
Of course.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to cry.
You don’t need to apologize.
It’s okay to be a waterfall.
It’s okay to be gushing rapids.
You know how beautiful waterfalls are?
You know how powerful gushing rapids are?
People take time off,
just to go and see them.
Driving for hours,
Walking up big mountains,
Just to be in their presence.
It’s okay,
to be where you are,
to be where you’re not.
It’s okay.
You are brave,
You are brave,
You are brave,
As you are.
