Tragic

Tragic… We mourn your loss we’ve lost your love A star so bright that now shines above us No earthly glow remains yet still we know You’ll follow with us wherever we go Behind your smile and the gleam in your eye How could we know all you felt inside The inner pain and emptiness which we now feel There is no escaping that which is real We watched as you grew from child to man Watched as your father and mother let go of your hand We watched as you conquered those childhood fears Watched as your focus became crystal clear Your family and friends could see it in your eyes How you lived everyday and how you loved your life So many were touched by the love in your heart And now we carry that with us though we’re torn apart It’s tragic to think, it’s tragic to feel Still so hard to believe any of this is real The words that I’ve found within me can barely explain The feelings I have for your family, our family in pain…
