We all held your hand., by eleanor maslen Subscribe to rss feed for eleanor maslen

sometimes i think the wound is healed, for it to open
again.
and like it never left, im filled with so much pain.

Its not a pain i can describe, not one that ends or grows
i cant open up my mind, its one i cannot show.

its a pain ive never had, one id never felt
but one i know so much about, as at your side i knelt.

I dont tell people you died here, because its where you
lived
were you raied your children, your heart and soul to give

I praid as i knelt tho in god i dont believe
i dont know what i asked for, maybe i ask why you had to
leave

there is a part of me that wont let me move on
i guess there still apart of me that wont believe your gone

its been a long time since i said farewell
and on the times i cried i wont let my mind dwell

i'll remember the car rides, the fun we had at home
i'll remember when you were here, i was never left alone

You wernt just a dad, you were my guard too
and im going to admit, its pretty hard with out you.

You didnt leave this world, as a single man
for apart of us went with you, each of us held your hand.
