I am enough

Michele Romano art

This is a story of a girl guiding her father through the passage from his life to beyond.  In his final moments, as she helped hold his head up, she started to tell his legacy.  She is not even sure why or what exactly she said but the words flowed through her and into him.  He smiled and nodded as he breathed his last breaths.

========================================

I am enough

I don’t know why I said that, it’s what you wanted
and now you are gone

I don’t know why I said that, it came through me
time to move things on

when I close my eyes, I relive it again
when things are tough, I am enough

I don’t know why I did that, I held your head
and I smiled with my eyes

I don’t know why I did that, I spoke so free
I let go of old ties

when I close my eyes, I relive it again
when things are tough, I am enough

I don’t know why I felt that, my inner strength
just took over me

I don’t know why I felt that, calm confidence
slow velocity

when I close my eyes, I relive it again
when things are tough, I am enough

I don’t know why I thought that, my life hasn’t changed
I continue to be

I don’t know why I thought that, the sun still shines
and you’re always with me
