September

We had a good thing going Enjoyed our time in love Never thought for a moment I would ever have enough Things were going so well I thought I had it all But then came September My world began to fall The visit came that evening The one I would always dread A telegram from the division Told me you were dead No chance would come to tell you How much I really loved Just a box with your remains To bury in a yard Deep down I’m just so angry Why did you have to leave Each night I prayed to God To keep you safe for me I guess I must have missed a night For now it seems you have gone One rainy night in September The month we fell in love I stand here at your grave now Not understanding why You had to go and leave Before we said goodbye So many things you will miss Since you had to go away One thing I want to tell you Before I leave this day A month before you left me In September’s setting sun Found out I was expecting Together we have a son I wanted to surprise you When you came back home to me Wish that I had told you The blessing he was to be God’s peace in rest I hope you find Until we meet again For no one will ever Take your place Within my heart and live I know one day we will meet again In heaven by the shore Just like we did so long ago Before September came
