because love
for all of it
the pink and blue lights
the news articles
the events
because love
the fundraising
the volunteering
the candles burning
because love
because you can push your child on a swing
and read to them
and rock them to sleep
and play with them
and watch them grow
and those are options i do not have
but my love for her is still alive
so i shout and wave
and make myself known
so you will know her
because love is here
because love is all i have
because love
