Loss

LOSS Dreams are now lost and Hope floats away, ruining a chance for a better day Oh to return to times now past, with memories fresh where the good times last The future is uncertain and Joy out of reach, the lessons we’ve learned we now never can teach How hard to realize the way life can change, and that things don’t often get better with age Will people forgive will wrongs be made right, or will bitterness cause a perpetual fight The narrative altered and the lies now abound, will the truth come to light, will it ever be found Will justice be done to those who stepped in, abusing their power and compounding their sin How can forgiveness come back and return, will the anger be doused, or continue to burn Will the pain and anguish ever heal, or will heartache dominate and happiness steal How will the innocent move forward and thrive, will those who are crushed find the will to survive Will love win out will reconciliation take place, or will the separation increase as they take their own space Would we act different if we knew that someday, all we held dear would be taken away The way things were is the way it should be, when we were together as a family
