PoemVidz: Poetry and Video ecards

You had spent nearly 50 years together
And then we lost Dad these three years ago
As much as we hurt you hurt much more
It seemed that part of you went with him
The pain of loss became a shadow upon you
You had lost your very best friend Mom
Been forsaken of your partner in this life

For three years you suffered on bravely
You wore a smile to warm our hearts
But inside that heart was slowly dying
Until one morning you said goodbye to us
Years of sorrow had come to an end
The shadow of pain had been lifted
You were with Father once again

I find no sweetness in my sorrow
As I say goodbye to you forever
I could care less about tomorrow
Only the years we spent together

There is no sweetness in my sorrow
As I stand beside your grave
I feel the emptiness in me grow
My soul it cannot save

I will not allow sweetness in my sorrow
I need my time to grieve
Our time on earth we borrow
In that I do believe

Funerals are depressing
Sad and full of tears
Memories are confessing
Not just empty years

A time to say goodbye
To someone we loved so
Ours not to question why
But just to let them go
