“I’m sorry for your loss”.
Heartfelt. Truth.
Meant to comfort.
Said with hope to soothe.
Often with love.
But no word has yet been uttered
That gives back or replaces,
What has been lost.
Yet
We utter them still.
Letting sounds stumble.
Words tumbling.
Failing us.
When we need them to serve another.
“I’m sorry”
Will never be enough.
Even in the truth of the words-
Sincerity.
Then-
An uttered cry
May carry better
Than the failed word.
