There is such sadness when your loved one dies
You feel like you experience a river of cries
As we slowly start to unravel
There are so many roads we travel
Anger, fear, guilt, and numbness are release
None of these bring us any real peace
As we slowly move on with our life
Still feeling that sharp pain like a knife
That pierced our heart so deep
The scar we will always keep
The pain levels off with time
You find there’s a new hill to climb
The scar will always be there
It keeps your loved one near
Year’s later, in the mirror, you find your smile
It hits you you’ve passed that long mile
It’s those memories of all the years past
Realization your loved one’s safe at last
In God’s loving hands, they reside
Ugly roads you traveled put aside
One day you will see their young face
Happy with no illness, not a trace
Hand in hand, you will walk
Sounds are loud of happy talk
That’s when you know everything is okay
The road of true peace is now displayed
