Harder Than Others

Harder than others 
Hi baby, its mom having another hard day.
I need you back to finish our plans and tell you things I need to say. 
Your strength is necessary to get me through the hours. 
Each day seems like a week and fresh blooms are wilted flowers. 
Although your light was dim, you brought brightness to those around. 
Your smile so perfect and the words you spoke cleverly profound. 
Why you danced with the devil, only those in the dark could understand.
But God won, he gave you wings and had an angel take you by the hand. 
Please visit me again as I lay with my eyes closed trying to fall sleep. 
Wrap your wings around me when I silently or loudly weep. 
I am missing you and hopeful to be with you again.
If I could press rewind, I’d go back to do it over from when your life began. 
Some days I can get through shedding sporadic tears as a mourning mother
Then some days is its unbearable and harder than others.
