Jan 2013
As the tears roll down from my cheeks, all I can ask is why.
Her purple dress, her vivid yet dull cheeks soon to be beneath my feet,
All I can do is cry.
Why would God do this so someone so full of life
So happy, proud to say she was a child of God.
But, maybe this was her time.
Her time to shine, to a new destination and make another person smile.
I whip away the tears from my eyes and smile, for I have to let go.. And let her fly
Float away to the far sun, Mars, and... Even the sky
You have to understand how much it hurts me to let you go.
But, I have to be strong enough for both of us and show
That I love you and I’ll do anything to make you smile.
Forever do us part, we’ll meet again, but this time I’ll be on gold brick road.
And angel wings to show, that were immortal.
But for now I’m going to have to let you
Float away…
