Rise above the anger
Rise above the pain
Rise above the storm clouds
That bring so much rain.

Rise above the tears
Rise above the sorrow
Rise up and you'll see
There's a better tomorrow.

Broken hearts
That shatter beyond repair.

The look in a child's eye
Daddy's gone with despair.

Mommy's tears
Flow fast and free.

So much of Mommy
You should never see.

Pain and anguish
She cannot slow.

But try as she might
The pain does show.

Another bad day.
Another bad fight.

My poor baby
Cries at night.

Hold on little boy
Mommy will be ok.

I will show you
A promise for a better day.

Daddy isn't here.
He loves you though.

One day it'll be better,
When you're older and grow.

Until then
Please hear me.

It'll get better
Just wait and see.

Tell me there isn't more
Then just what we share.
Even if it's a lie
Tell me you don't care.

Take this curse
And set me free
Tell me I'm crazy
And we'll never be.

You know how I feel;
Hanging on by a thread
Do you know how it feels
When you're stuck in my head?

Nostalgia

The word rings true;
"The pain from an old wound"
Nostalgia; every photo
I see of you.

You both left too soon,
If I could bring you back...
The words repeat in my head
Like a skipping track.

Far away for far too long
And always out of touch,
Can my words reach you in heaven?
I miss you both so much

If you can see your daughter now
I hope you are proud.
I know she's a feisty one
But her future roars so loud.

I thank you every day for the gift she is,
She gets so much from you
I just wish I could see your eyes:
So bright and baby blue.

My little mermaid,
My baby sis...
Are there any words
For how much time we've missed?

Every day that passes
I want you here to call
I hope you know
I'll always love you with my all

For Aaron and Ariel
Gone and treasured
Never forgotten and truly missed
