Maybe In Heaven

I know it's been a while, since we've spoken last but I got to thinking 'bout you, sifting through old photographs sitting and reminiscing, making wishes on pictures hoping only for a minute, we were kids again we'll always be siblings, but we were friends then and even with the distance, you're still my closest kin if I could hold you now, I'd never let you go again I hope you hear the condolence, in the words that I wrote this with 'cause someday, I hope our family's whole again just because our home was broken, doesn't mean our hearts can't mend so if not today, then maybe in a better place maybe in Heaven we'll have more to say I think about our time lost, the pain I've caused and all the burdens, my ego and pride brought am I better off, or is it my loss my God, what if it's my fault maybe I'm the reason, that my family fell apart could I have held them together, if only I was strong may I do what I couldn't do, while alive, now that I'm gone and bring them all back together, cry along in song letting bygones be bygones, shoulders you can cry on if in your heart is where I belong, then I am never gone life is too short, to always right the wrongs sometimes it's best, just to take it with a grain of salt and move forward, there's so many more important ways to measure oneself, than your portions of misfortune it's unfortunate, you incorporate your hate in place of faith and never take the time, to appreciate all you have today but anyway, I just wrote this to say I love you and I miss y'all, and without you it just ain't the same so one day, maybe in a better place maybe in Heaven we'll have more to say
