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
