You took a great leap of faith that day

Plummeting off that bridge

Onto the train tracks below

Waiting for a quick ending of a young life.

A quick reunion, with your beloved mother

Already one year dead

Unable to be parted any longer

Just wanting to be with her again.

You took that leap of faith

Alone, all of us in darkness.

I just hope you leapt

Into her arms, into the light once more.
