Blue I

"I tried to die"

I stumbled over you today

and retroactively learned I

had quite often found you

in many private searchings

here and there on the ‘net

but didn’t know your name

I knew only you knew more

of our shared brokenness

than ever at my worst did I

learned you walked the way

I could only ever “what-if”

fell, but not quite all the way

learned too of other hands

wrapped around your own

holding closely to your life

rejecting fear, sharing hope

and thanked my God for you

that you remained with us

you are too valuable to lose
