I Wish
Father I’m grateful for everything let me lead off saying that, but I would like to know why you saw fit to take away my loved ones
I don’t feel that taught me everything they could
Or did you remove them from this plain to teach me a lesson?
Never take anyone for granted, say what you have to say today because tomorrow never comes for some
Pain in my heart
I talk to them in Heaven but not to be rude it’s not the same as being face to face or a simple phone conversation
Knowing they’re in your arms
Wishing they could still hold me when I needed it
A child in granny’s eyes
She never got to see the birth of my child
Show me the tools of the trade when caring for children
And I’m not the only one either
Mom misses you more than she will let on
The pain every holiday, once again realizing that she has to take on her role along with yours
The family ain’t the same
You held us together
Now I hardly go around
Can’t stand how they live and seem to forget the lessons you bestowed upon them, as if you were never here
Guess that’s how they coup with the loss
I just wish you never left us that winter morning…it’s been cold since without your guiding light warming me
