Serjit's Song

Thirty four years a wonderful ride
Now I face the truth which I can’t hide
Since you ain’t here let me make this clear
Living ain’t living without you

Sitting here and listening for your voice
I got no vote I got no choice
Oh yes our children the grand ones too
Damn this world they just ain’t you

Like a hammer between my eyes
I survive by telling me some lies
After all she’s just at the store
Any minute she’ll walk through that door

Face the truth it just ain’t so
Baby if it had been me the first to go
I’d be there waiting to let you know
Heaven ain’t heaven without you

This makes me sad and I'm sorry. But I'm glad you shared it was a nice read.
