I Am Here Rosemary Lawton

You are here
At the start of a moment
On the edge of the world
Where the river meets the sea
Here, on the edge of the Atlantic
On an island in between
There and here
And I am here

I am here
I am here on an island
Hello? Yes it's me
My son's Rescue 2
I am his mother
I'm far away-
Fine. I'll hold again
I'll hold you again

I should be checking the hospitals
Putting up signs
But instead I am
Here
I am here in Newfoundland

Let me tell you, listen
My son, he takes risks
He's not missing; he's helping or hurt
He'll get out of this
I'll be here
At the grade school in gander
I'll be here
