In this time, I have grief to spare,
For it is a time where I mourn
That you will no longer be here
To talk, to laugh or to wipe away my tears.
But still I feel you standing,
Watching my every move,
Only you don't speak to me so I can hear,
You speak so that I feel.
In my heart, and in my memories,
You will always come to me.
When I hear your favorite song,
Or smell your perfume, you are there,
But I cannot see you.
I feel the pain of you being gone,
Even though you have been released
From your own suffering.
I am saddened that you had to go,
But in my heart and soul,
I know that time will heal,
That time will lessen the pain I feel.
Now, today, I cry tears, and know that
I will always miss you,
But today, you had to fly away.
You flew to were angels go
To watch over us-
To watch over me,
And without telling me what to do,
You still guide me-
I still hear you voice,
And it causes the tears to flow,
But today you had to fly away.
I cannot tell you when it will heal,
I cannot tell you when it will come,
But the ache in my heart,
The emptiness in my soul,
I will find comfort,
Even though today, you had to fly away.
