A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it to be God.
– Sidney Sheldon


Do you know her name?
I know there was a reason for her
to do what she did.
Do you know her name?
I know she used to hold you while you cried,
before she was the reason you cried.
Do you know her name?
I know that she was kind to you, and she cooked for you, and took care of you.
Do you know her name?
I know she sang for you, and it was awful but
you had never heard anything more beautiful.
Do you know her name?
I know how you felt when she crawled into bed
to comfort you and share a silly moment.
Do you know her name?
I know the words she said
Do you know her name?
I know the marks she left.
Do you know her name?
I know the heart.
Do you know her name?
I know the crack.
Do you know her name?
Yes. I do know her name,
but I dare not speak it.
