Hopes and Dreams
Hopes and dreams laid aside
Gifts unopened, tears undried
A life of promise, so much to fill
How could this be..my God’s will?
So much unsaid, so much love to give
From us both if you had lived
Talks and advice I would love to share
Of things on which we both did care
Life and love, all things to attend
Baseball, music, being with friends
So many things that you could be
My life I would give for you to see
My greatest fear was to lose my son
Now I’ve lost him my fear has gone
There’s nothing left for me to fear
I’ve lost the one I held so dear
The worst is over, the horror is past
The thing I feared most has happened at last
No more do I worry, no more do I care
Nothing can hurt when a heart isn’t there
I’ve been through hell and survived somehow
Nothing else can touch me now
There’s nothing to fear of life to come
I lost it all when I lost my son
