stillhere

Living goes on after someone close to you dies

Seeing life now through a new set of eyes

The timing is something we did not choose

We all have our stories but mine is not through

Losing one was enough, then there were others

First was my Mom, then my Sister and Brother

Holding tight to her words, just do your best son

With all that was in me, my best became none

He tried so many times to show me his love

Ignoring his pain for my sake, that I'm ashamed of

Protecting her precious heart from another break

Demands of hope took hold, by far my worst mistake

Always remember that family needs to come first

Even when the ones we love are at their worst

Time to make things right, look in the mirror

We all need each other while were still here

Life is good on this beautiful day

Let go of the pain as it falls away
