A Parents Greatest Loss

I gave my trust to the man in the sky, my children were taken;and,I felt I should die! Lord,why did he take the innocent and true? I now live life so empty and blue1 We always kept faith for everyone to know, father,the pain I carry now,"I'll never let go!" I see their pictures upon my wall, I hear their calls when I walk down the hall! Their lives on Earth were taken away too fast; by,drugs,alcohol,and a shotgun blast! I often ask myself, :why couldn't their dad leave his gun on the shelf?" I know Lord,my angels are with you, Through my tears,I pray,lonely and blue!
