Even if our hearts were as strong as a storm, we'd still feel a little bit sad
Knowing that we've lost our grandfather, our friend, our dad.
For so many years, we've felt their presence
In so many ways, we've felt complete,
But truly, even if we deny - We sometimes skip a heartbeat.
Our lives are nothing but their memories and their art,
Orbiting us each day, reminding us of who we are
Where we stand and to whom we belong,
We pray and cry up oceans for them night after night
Praying to be together just one more time, in the worlds of light.
But yes you are so fortunate, that you got to leave,
You've made it to the greater step, I pray for us to meet.
May your soul be blessed and may it shine brighter than the sun, Again and again
'I love you' it's not a lie, I may not have said it that much
But I hope you knew inside, even if I may have been unkind as such
Nothing is left for us to do but feel the tears stream down our eyes
For we, once in a while have broken their hearts with one or two lies,
Their face glows and vividly fades away from our dreams those nights
That's when we fall, fall down to our knees, pray for we could have changed
The ways we reacted back in those days.
Thoughts of those moments, thoughts of their sorrow smile
Now makes us realize how we never cared,
For that to overcome, we treasure the good times we've shared,
The times we've heard them say 'You've made me proud'
The times we've felt them lay their hands, oh so be crowned.
Their tender touch, their forgiveness
Their blessings for us and their happiness,
We pray to feel it all again
Bring it all again,
To the eternal life, after this time.
Nice... but I do agree with Chantelle Ribeiro. It sounds more of a confession or a conversation with a departed soul. But very well done(:
yes, I find this correct, our lives are filled with loss, but and we try to dwell on the good but it is sometimes tainted by the bad memories. Thankyou for sharing this part of your heart. This is something that helped me get out a bit of my own simular feelings.
Very touching. I think that many of us can relate to the things that we wish we could take back.
