My Sorrow's Song
My Sorrow is too great
You were sick for so long
Why'd you make me wait
To sing my sorrow's song
When they said you wouldn't heal
My heart broke in two
Nothing could explain the way I feel
I am much worse than blue
I will miss you dearly
As I go from day to day
I hold you in my heart most sincerely
For your memory will never fade away
Author's note: This was written Dec. 29, 1993 in loving memory
of Opal Wyatt my grandmother. I was 15 years old when it was written.
She died of cancer of the spinal cord.
