Rina though you could not afford it
You carried the same that he left at your doorstep
So often your life gave reason to hope yet
So much of it watered your eyes as you spoke it
Rina like a flower blooming
You carried your laughter through all that you knew and
Ever when smiles were small were fewer
You gave us your eyes and they lit up the room love
Rina on that hospital bed
The fever would break before you’d break the bread
All of the tears and the blood that you shed
Couldn’t keep quiet those dreams in your head
Rina while the smoke filled my lungs full
I cried at the clouds when I hear you were no more
The peace and the quiet felt every bit wrong oh
Hoping to God that you finally found some though
Rina I will hold like I said before both eyes looking forward
Rina I would hold like I said before to see you dance once more
