The days are long.
the nights are cold.
the Lord has taken so much.
From me. I have little left to give.
My family has served.
Since the sun first rose.
And man took his first breath.
Loved and fought.
Died and Lived.
Protected and lossed.
Promised and failed.
Friends and family held.
Promised to save, serve, and protect.
And only able to love and hold.
How could I have failed.
Family and friends looked up to.
And prayed a family to be made.
From a friendship near a decade passed.
Of laughs and cries and love.
You felt you could fly.
Now my life continues.
And hers has ceased.
And the sun will fall and rise.
While I'm numb with guilt.
And our family cries forever more.
The gates of paradise are unlocked.
And broken open.
A better place the pearly gates.
Now open to.
Forever gone is she.
A mothers screams haunt my dreams.
No more pain.
Now she's free.
I've fallen down to my knees.
Cried and screamed.
And clinched and prayed for relief.
ony to be met by silence and disbelief.
The hate of a thousand men.
And the rage of a thousand woman.
And the anger of a thousand generations.
All born from the love of one woman.
And the strength she had.
to instill courage and happiness.
In all she knew.
I love you.
