Robbed of our tomorrow
Before I could wed your son
A heart destined for sorrow
After all is said and done

Robbed of a Mother In Law to be
The man I love robbed of a Mother
That future meant so much to me
And even more so to another

I promise to be a good wife
To be there for your son everyday
To do you honor in our life
Our testimonial in some way

As I think back to that day
When I saw you lying there
You could have been sleeping
Peaceful without a care

Your time on earth was done
And now I shed tears of sorrow
Your time to rest had come
There was no more tomorrow

I will not forget that day Grandma
We left the cemetery weeping
And I kept thinking to myself
You could have been sleeping

It hurts to lose a Daughter
Pain your heart can’t stand
If only you had caught her
As when her life began

You were always there
To mend her every ache
Although it seems unfair
Her soul was Gods to take

Your little girl has gone away
There is nothing you can do
You will miss her every day
For she was part of you

I cannot believe that you died
I never got to say goodbye
So many emotions I can’t hide
Ours not to question why

Oh Brother I miss you so
I feel like part of me is gone
A friend and your sister too
Somehow I must go on

I could always talk to you
And you were always there
Now I don’t know what to do
Full of loneliness and despair

My Brother you are gone now
But when I’m sad and all alone
I will still talk to you anyhow
In my heart instead of the phone

Letting you go was not easy
Losing you was not fair
A Brother is like no other
And we made quite a pair

One day you would torture me
The next defend me to another
You were my best friend
In addition to being my brother

Standing in that cemetery
My heart was aching so
The day I said goodbye
Without letting you go

There can be no greater loss
Than that of a child

No pain ever imagined
Can hurt so deep

So innocent and pure
Such dreams unfulfilled

They are a part of you
Now part of you has faded

You sustain life in their memory
But the emptiness engulfs you

Still you know in your heart
You must live life for them

Losing a Father is very sad
There is nothing you can do
But face life without your dad
And the emptiness in you

Your heart will form a hole
That can never be repaired
Memories eat upon your soul
Your mind will not be spared

He will always be there
In the back of your mind
The way he used to care
Stern and yet so kind

The pain will never really fade
Part of you is gone
Although you wish he had stayed
You know you must go on
