We know you say be strong in our hearts
But how can we be strong when our lives fall apart
As our eyes see grey and our thoughts so blue
How can our dreams shine again
The way they did with you
How can you go, when there’s so much left for you to do
There’s still so much you need to teach, so much knowledge you knew
The passing of your soul is silenced through cries
And with this our hearts are filled with sorrows and sighs
You sit and wait from your heavenly seat
You watch and give guidance to those who you see
You send bundles of comfort when we crash to defeat
You cuddle us when we can not be the persons we want to be
You’ve touched so many people’s lives
With your laugh, which leaves its mark
And this quality in you survives
As a light in your children, your light in this dark
We never told you when we needed you most, you were there
You’d never question or judge, but listen to our pains
You would honour our trust, with your value of care
You would rush to our needs, when we’d need you again
Yet who will comfort us now, and show us right from wrong
Who will we share our ideas with
How can we write a single note, without feeling sorrow in its song
We wish there was something we could do
To find the right words enough to say
The love that was strongest was in you
I wish you’d lived, just to see one more day
But the reasons of which are left unsaid
Was it fate, or just your time
Your spirit lives on, it will never be dead
That is why we write this rhyme
How can we tell you all these things when you’re no longer here
Your heart calls out to us and sings
There is nothing no longer to fear.
