A Friend's GriefThere is nothing more painful than to lose someone you love so dearly. To think that you will never see their face or hear their voice can sometimes be unbearable. In times of loss, expressing profound grief can be difficult. These are my attempts at helping those who needed a voice.

You Are Gone
In Loving Memory of James, from Becky... They've come to tell me you are gone/ your smile I will not see/ The final chapter of your life/ has sadly come to be/ I look around and see so much/ reminding me of you/ I want to cheat and turn back time/ but this I cannot do/ My memories of knowing you/ began, as I recall/ not giving you a decent chance/ not liking you at all/ But time, it had a certain way/ of making me review/ I got to know the man inside/ and met the real you/ You let me see the wounded heart/ you tried so hard to hide/ I felt your pain and helped you through/ I know how hard you tried/ I'll carry one regret though/ each moment that I live/ I wish that you had only known/ you had much more to give/ I came to know you as a friend/ that I could count upon/ There is a void I cannot fill/ for now, my friend, you're gone |
Brother
In Loving Memory of James, from Rodney... The journey home was long and hard/ I had so far to go/ For all that time I thought of you/ And how I'd miss you, Bro/ I am sure God's taking care/ To make sure you're okay/ But I would give most anything/ To have just one more day/ We had great times, I won't regret/ My, friend, you were the best/ But fate had placed me far away/ As you were laid to rest/ I hope you can forgive me for/ Not being there that day/ Or being gone that fateful night/ God carried you away/ And if I had the power now/ I'd change it all for you/ I'd hang with you and keep you safe/ Whatever I could do/ Instead I'll make a promise here/ To guard your memory/ I won't forget one single day/ That you were here with me/ Then when its time for me to go/ And you again I see/ Our friendship will continue on/ For all eternity |
If Only
In Loving Memory of Dwayne, from Karin... If only I'd been given time/ I'd have so much to say/ I'd do most anything, you see/ To make you want to stay/ If only you had told me/ You had tired of the fight/ I'd carry you if this is what/ It took to make things right/ Your heart was breaking deep inside/ Your spirit broken too/ And if I had the power now/ I'd mend it all for you/ But you have chosen to go Home/ To watch me from above/ Your spirit has been lifted now/ Your heart has filled with love/ You'll fill my days with memories/ Protect and guide me through/ For this will be my hardest task/ To face not seeing you/ "If only" cannot bring you back/ My tears won't make it so/ But you'll be with me in my heart/ No matter where I go/ And when my weakest moment comes/ You'll be the stronger one/ And safely carry me until/ My time on earth is done/ If only, my dear brother/ I could make it through this pain/ I'd live my life as best I could/ Until we meet again HOME BACK NEXT |
