for mother orca mourning her calf

if i could swim you back to life
i would
if i could learn to let go
i should.
i know you are gone
but my heart still crying
why is this a world
where the ones we love
are dying.
if i could swim you back to life
again
i know i must stay goodbye
but i don't know when.
