In Silence

In silence
we meet the fathers
and sit beside the mothers.

We walk forward
through their shadows,
our roots deepening
in unseen soil.

The tree gathers everything —
the hidden pieces,
the struggles,
the fragments we once feared
and slowly learned to love.

This is the path:
to know life whole —
its wounds,
its joys.

And to remember
we are branches
of the same living tree,
grown
from God’s love.
