Even Though It Breaks My Heart
I reach out and take your hand
Even though it breaks my heart
Hands once full of strength
Are now frail and weak
I peer into your eyes
Even though it breaks my heart
A mind once sharp and full of wit
Now no longer recognizes me
I listen to the doctor
Even though it breaks my heart
A person once so full of life
Lays dying in white
So I have to let go
Even though it breaks my heart
A soul I once held dear
Is released to rest in peace
