I Could'Ve Prayed

I wasn’t taught to pray for you I wasn’t sure what I should do I didn’t know I could’ve prayed As you’re lying near your death I watched you take your final breathe I didn’t know I could’ve prayed I sat there with you by your side I knew that you were soon to die I didn’t know I could’ve prayed I’m watching you deteriorate I didn’t know how long it’d take I didn’t know I could’ve prayed The cancer slowly took you over I watched you as your eyes got lower I didn’t know I could’ve prayed You talked to me with spoken words Then your words could not be heard I didn’t know I could’ve prayed I think that I was just in awe You never made it to grandpa I didn’t know I could’ve prayed We buried you that rainy day I didn’t wipe a tear away I didn’t know I could’ve prayed I think of how you’re really gone Time will heal as we move on I didn’t know I could’ve prayed Although you’re gone, I know you’re here I strongly feel your presence near And now I know, I’ll always pray
