Another

When life dealt me a dirty deal I looked around to find what was real I was given a son but he was ripped away How could I keep facing another day? The son that was born loved and raised Disappeared into fate's misty haze. Torn from my bosom and taken away While I remained to face another day. And another and another and another. I turned to my mate but he turned away. Turned to my daughter she went her own way. I felt so alone and I wanted to die too. I wanted to follow Robbie into the blue. Into another plane another, another, another. But I had no choice I had to stay To face life and face each day. Trying to find a reason to go on To tell myself, "I am strong"! Get through the next day and then, Another, another, another. To find reasons to live was so hard I grabbed at straws I kept up my guard. They who should have been closest drew away Apart from me trying to find their own way. Out of the quicksand of grief that mired us all That kept us from hearing one anothers' call. Another, another, another. The years have passed but not the pain Although we have learned to live again. Life has gone on we learned to adjust We are better now we are learning to trust One another again, one another, one another. The years have passed but not the pain Although we have learned how to live again. Life has gone on we have learned to adjust We are better now we are searing to trust One another again, one another, one another.
