our hearts

eulogy by Alistair Chong

farewell
i never knew you
but you changed my eyes
changed what i saw
by the river we are
touched by you.
see you child,
in a place better than before.
we couldn't love you more
and it hurts
it hurts so bad,
empty but so full of everything.
our child.
a child of the world.
but you're held in loving hands
curled in the palms
of love and glory.
rest, child.
see you in heaven.
