When something hurts within your heart
Think of what I'd say,
Just take things slow don't think to much
Just take life day by day.

I know the reason you are down
But now I can not help,
I can not hold you in my arms
Or comfort you to help.

And so I'll write this poem for you
And hope that I am right,
I hope it helps you just a bit
When your alone at night.

Now Micheal was both our son
And beautiful was he,
But the Lord decided years ago
To take him for some need.

I can not understand it
Or believe that it is right,
To take so small a child
To heaven out of sight.

Maybe it was for a purpose
That the Lord took him away,
I know that he's happy in heaven
And can never be led astray.

But it hurts and the pain is a deep pain
That rises and consumes me whole,
And the hurt that I feel sends me crazy
Keeps me confused so my mind can't take hold.

But I know that life must go on still
So I push the grief aside,
And try to live the best I can
With the hurt that is still left inside.
