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
