Until We Meet Again....
On my mind day and night
Don't think I ever healed quite right
Images still vivid and clear
Still see pictures, voices I hear
Gone so soon, happened so fast
Now I'm left here as part of your past
Couldn't believe it myself, still relive the day
That my dear loved one passed away.
I knew before they told us...felt something inside
Then I looked at the doctor, saw something in his eyes
The tears rolled down so swift and steady
All I kept thinking was "Oh God, I'm not ready."
Weak at the knees, unable to swalllow
Hearing the explanation but unable to follow
Looking at my family all around
I was the only one not making a sound
I opened my mouth to speak but there was no voice
I was left there gaping- and not by choice
It felt like I had been ripped apart
It felt like I was missing a piece of my heart
Then I reminded myself that it was God's will
Once he calls you home you gotta go...that's the deal
I prayed about it then got myself together
Pretty soon after I felt a little better
As expected, time did help heal
But there isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel....
Your presence, your spirit, your sweet memory
All these things are still alive in me
Locked safe inside my heart and protected best I can...
Because this is what holds me together....Until We Meet Again...
