Footsteps echo on marble floors
Grief sits heavy behind closed doors
You hold shoulders that quake with night
Letting courage reclaim its right
Tears spill slow in a quiet stream
Voices crack through a broken dream
Your warm grasp steadies trembling bone
Giving power they thought unknown
Fear steps back from its looming brand
Calm steps forward through your command
Happiness grows where hearts expand—
Strength is born where your mercy teaches souls to stand
