Sometimes I wonder which is stronger, the power of words, or the force of doings!
I just love this poem, it's very impressive that you've used this form, starting and ending with the word speechless without having to repeat yourself in the 2nd and 8th line! Bringing totally different emotions at both parts.
I see two different phases of being speechless, the 1st at loss of words to express your sadness, and the second overwhelmed by his love and tenderness.
