It’s been 5 months since you said goodbye

Every day, I try my hardest not to cry

Each day when I look at my son

It saddens me that you couldn’t see what he’s become

The selfish part of me wanted you to stay

Maybe the cancer would’ve stay at bay

In my heart I know you’re at peace

I just wish that I could’ve kept a piece

Of you

Just to help me get through

The days when it’s just too much to bear

Lord knows it isn’t fair.

Your lessons remain and help to ease the pain.

I know we’ll see each other again

I just have to be patient and wait for the eventual ‘when’
