I Look For Signs
Grief
is such a lonely road
that I must walk
now you have gone
Family and friends
are always there
but for me
my grief
I cannot share
And when they ask me
‘How am I’
I smile and say
‘Yes I’m okay’
But that’s not true
For deep inside
is so much pain
each day I hide
My inner thoughts
my physical pain
my thoughts of
seeing you again
I look for signs
most every day
But are these signs
I sometimes see
from you to me
these signs I see
Or am I just imagining
these signs are sent from you
For if I thought
these signs weren’t true
my grief
well how could I get through
Keep sending signs
they help me live
each day
each night
they help me through
they give me faith
they give me life
they give me hope
that one day
we may meet again
These signs I pray are real and true
they gently take away my pain
of living life without you...
