I Take To My Paper and Pen
Fear has gripped my very soul
sadness overwhelms
his hardest battle’s being fought
the worst is yet to come
Can’t turn back the hands of time
life takes a toll each day
his smile’s quite deceiving
his frailty’s on display
The time has now arrived
we’re saying our goodbyes
sitting on angel’s wings
his spirit, it does fly
Tears… they come
and then they go
then once again
they begin to flow
Emotions are swirling about
feels like a roller coaster ride
I have to take hold of myself
every part of me aches inside
It’s said “Time heals all wounds”
a bit of it has passed
I haven’t any idea
how long this pain will last
Just so that I don’t break
I take to my paper & pen
writing is where I turn to
that and support from my friends
