Your Memory
So many times I sat in this very place
Trying to remember your voice or face
Afraid the little things would fade
Because all I have now are the memories made
And that’s what I have to cling to
To help me deal with losing you
Here I tried to find answers to why
I begged, pleaded, and cried to the sky
Told God how it wasn't fair
And this pain I couldn’t bare
Now for so very long
I continue to try and be strong
But the pain I found a way around
My cries no longer make a sound
Though sometimes a tear falls down
I can smile instead of frown
I no longer hold the anger and hate
I know now it was a part of fate
And though the reasons aren't so clear
I feel a part of you here
I carry it with me everywhere I go
And though the healing process is slow
In this place and on this day
Your baby girl has found a way
To let go of all the pain
After all an angel he gained
And I know you're watching over me
Everything I've done I know you see
I just hope you know
I do what I do
Honoring the memory of you!!!!
