QUIET WATERS

They say quiet water runs deep –

like pain, like death, like memories.

They say quiet water soothes the soul,

like a good friend, ice cream, or a sleeping child.

They say Quiet Waters Park is the place to walk,

to talk to each other, to get away from it all.

They say Quiet Waters Park is the place 

to remember those we miss, those deep in the ocean of our grief.

They say Quiet Waters Park is the place to sit,

on a bench in memory of the one we love.
