Until

A solemn heart beats no more Weary eyes rest in peace Tired body motionless lies Soul slips away with ease God broke my heart By laying you to rest His choice shows truth He takes the best I hear a somber cello Partnered by a dreary violin A beautiful duet coincides Mirrors the pain within Days go by one by one I begin to think I’m okay Then a second comes by This pain won’t go away You are with me Everywhere I go I feel you It can’t be so I convince myself you’re here My dreams bring you to life I’m sick of putting on a brave face When all I feel is devastating strife I find myself wishing I find myself pleading I find myself seeing I just can’t continue being A moment of weakness They come along sparingly That’s when I remember his face The one who smiles merrily The baby boy you entrusted to me Whose first word spoken was my name He loves me the way I loved you He’s the one who has kept me sane Even though I cry I shed many tears I’ll be strong in his eyes For the rest of my years You left in me many things A fighting spirit, hope, and love I will carry on as long as I can Until I reach the end I dream of
