Thought that I was strong enough
To not break down and cry
This world is full of long hello's
As well as fast goodbyes
I may know the how
But never know the why
This is meant to haunt
Me throughout this life
When I got the call
We all seem to hate
Where they all tend to stall
As well as hesitate
Wish that I had known
But find that I'm too late
To try and test the steady grip
On the relentless hand of fate
That day they chose for you
A suit of bitter blue
I know that you would rather have had
A very different view
Than the one, death forced on
The moment you were caught
A once vibrant life, stuck inside
A felt lined wooden box
To have your Mom and Dad
Sitting down in front
Both kicked in the head
With the pain of sucker punched
I feel that it's not right
For a parent to lose a child
I pray each day I never have
To ever find that out
With heavy sigh I've found that I
Will never be strong enough
To not break down and cry
And all of it because
I can clearly see the how
But never know the why
This world is full of long hello’s
As well as fast goodbyes
