Lonely Soul

My soul has been lonely since a tender age
Since the fateful day they dug his grave 
For years I have tried to fill that  empty space with a happy face 
Although I've known no one could ever take his place 
My mind... It doesn't remember that place
Can't remember a laugh...
Or a warm embrace 
He'll never walk me down the aisle 
Or see my daughter smile 
We must cherish our children 
And the lives that we living 
What happened to him was terrible killing  
Over in an instant; No time to blink 
Don't do before you think!
Not only did he die that day  
My soul still sinks
