I don't particularly like today's oneword, but that's the chance ya take, so

She didn't take the time
to pierce the silence
to make the words stick
the honey of her approval
she didn't take the time
to smooth the taut lines of his forehead
to let his ten-year-old ears hear
that this was not the end
that he was loved
she didn't take the time

Oh, wow, I really like that. It made my nose sting, and my eyes blur, and then I realized that my heart ached, just a little. Thank you.
