STILL HERE
Anna Huckabee Tull
We four were one, and now you’re gone
We look for traces in the empty spaces,
Walk to the far corners
Stumble forward
A long, long way from what we know
What was it you said in the way you lived?
What did the love you left behind leave us to build on?
Carry on
Carry on
You are still here
When we persevere
Your pointed stride, the way your smile rose to your eyes
You opened the way with every effortful gain you made
You would focus for hours and hours
Plough through mountains
We're such a long, long way from that now
What was it you said in the way you lived?
What did the love you left behind leave us to build on?
Carry on
Carry on
You are still here
When we persevere
And we will grow, and love
Take those chances and become
And we will not fear the words we didn't say
We will live forward, open, brave
And we will love you, forever love you
Forever love you
And you're still here
In us you are
Still here
