A Family Gathering
Tonight it is quality time, a family gathering;
Cousins running playfully, but you are missing,
To me the "you" is the most precious of all,
I reach for my phone, but you I can't even call!
My daughter, in a graveyard you lay,
I don't want to participate, I just wish I could watch you play!
It pleases me to see that everyone is having fun;
My wife laughing at the dance moves of my son.
Alone I am trying to carry this burden
A cross I'm carrying since the closing of your curtain.
I was always the introvert, but since you gone I am even more quiet.
You constantly on my mind; missing you makes me so tired.
The family's love fills the room, but my life feel so much colder,
I just realized I might be 34 in years, but in life I'm so much older!
