Twenty Years of Grief
I can't be there today
to sit beside your grave,
I need to talk to you
its comforts what I crave
I've cried a million tears
as I've walked into forever,
wandering lost and alone
since our bond was severed
I look into the night
to see you walk the stars,
listening to the deep
for messages from afar
I've learned to write in word
my heartache and pain,
until that sacred time
when I'll be with you again
I miss your words of advice
and the sound of your voice,
being so far apart from you
would never be my choice
As I walk in fields of gold
your memory is with me,
and looking at carnations
makes a smile break free
The strength of your love
is a testament of my grief,
only when I leave this place
will I find a peaceful relief
I'm going to be a Nan
I wish I could share with you,
all these little happy times
but I'm only feeling blue
My dearest loving Mother
I miss you more each day,
twenty years have passed
it hurts more than I could say
