Once again I must face the test
The clock records just 2 hours rest
I could try to struggle once again
But I know it’s pointless, so why refrain
My feet they know their way around
I start to wander with just one sound
My broken melody, it does repeat
The empty sound of one’s heart beat
Unanswered questions run through my head
Was it always cold on that side of the bed?
Can I only sleep, when I hear you breath?
And why dear God, did she have to leave?
The crowds are gone, I watched them go
To deal with a silence, I’m not prepared to know
Down my silent halls, then off to work in a while
To coworkers greeting me with a sad smile
I considered forcing my way back to you
And I know it’s not what you’d want me to do
Our grand daughters are here, they need me as well
Our stories of us, I have to be here to tell
Then there is our son, always so angry with me
No matter that I tried my best, he just can’t see
If I go to you now, there is so much unsaid
I can’t relieve him of that burden after I’m dead.
No, I know it’s best that I stay here
No matter how much the empty night I fear
So I will linger on just for a little while
Till Jesus reunites me with your loving smile.
WOW IM MOVED BEYOND YOUR WORDS.YOU HAVE A TALENT THAT SHALL MOVE US .
Very kind. Thank you
