When was the last time you felt the lump of heartache in your throat -
Counted the minutes until you could wipe the smile from your face and let the sadness rise to the surface
To come in waves of grief released for fears of what may be to come...
Saying goodbye with a poker face
While tracing the lines of his face in memory
Go with God I said to you
Praying Angels will see you through
Storms of heat and sand, darkness and demons
Come home to us, healthy and strong
Be my brother, her father and a husband, a son that is loved beyond comparison...
How long will you tempt the Gods before u realize u are just a man
Made of dust and bones - made to love, forgive and try again?
