Something Precious Was Lost
Something so precious was lost
Where to look, where to start
Oh God, what could I have done
To lose the beat of my heart
Over a year now it was stolen
So coldy ripped from my chest
The moment my child was taken
My only son laid to rest
Nothing I do will replace you
No more chances to show you I care
Our home now holds only memories
Where once it held the love we’d share
I thought that time would dull this pain
But tears of agony still fall each day
A slow warm stream of salty flow
For you were stolen away
Your room is now my sanctuary
Your grave my place of healing
In love’s casket your last journey
In darkness no more hope or feeling
I go every day to your resting place
Underneath the tree where you lie
In reverance I kneel beside you
And say these words as I cry
I will love you, son, forever
I know your life has started anew
But why did you have to leave me
When I hadn’t stopped loving you
