My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news.
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn’t real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he’ll always be with me
I’m glad he feels now pain, now- he lives in a perfect land
I still feel like the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry and night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are together again
Together in that perfect place above
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes – I will continue to wipe my tears away
And hopefully I will see him again someday
