Grief
Some days my grief consumes me
It's so hard to believe you're gone
Part of me doesn't want to go on
The part that died when you left me.
I place my hands upon my face
To hide the tears that stream down
So many cried that I could've drown
Your lifes gone without a trace
My heart is shattered and broken
Since you've gone I feel so lost and alone
I miss your smile and the smell of your cologne
So many words were left unspoken
I ask my self often, and I wonder why
Why was my son taken from my life
now he'll never have a child or a wife
So why did my son have to die?
There are no answers to my questions
The who's, the where's and the whys.
what I'd give to look once more into his eyes.
To once more give motherly suggestions
Be grateful for each day you're given
Each person you have within your life
For each triumph, and each moment of strife
Allow all wrongdoings to be forgiven
Live your life with no regrets
Love deeply, dance and laugh alot
But don't be anything that you are not
Make life as good as it gets
