1. I show him a smiling face
And hide my pain within

2. And I have much more
Than his complaints of illness and discomfort

3. When I turn away,
My sight returns to darkness

4. And realities seem to me
Like ghosts in a blind eye

5. Grief keeps him company, so he sleeps
Sometimes, while I never sleep

6. I say to his mother in despair
That God is most generous

7. And I know that she is a breeze
Counting breaths over him in the breeze
