I Stopped Living

I stopped living the day my son/daughter died
The loss so tragic so many tears have I cried
We are not suppose to bury our children they say
I wish it was me instead of him/her that day
I would have gladly changed paces and given my life
Thinking to myself how that would end their strife
The guilt the blame still haunts me today
I can't understand why they had to go that way
I went into a shell and retreated from life
It feels like my heart was cut out with a knife
I don't sleep at night I walk around in a daze
I feel like my mind is lost in a maze
Nothing to live for nothing to do
That's how I feel since I lost you
Why dear lord did this happen to me
What did I do to offend thee
You took my child from me and I don't know why
Now all I want is to lay down and die
I know that this is not the way it should be
We are suppose to grow old with them and be so happy
Each day I awake and begin to cry
Please dear God I just want to die
Then one day when you least expect
God will show you his love and respect
He will send you peace and love your way
Then you will start to heal that day
No longer will you dwell on his/her strife
You will remember the good times in their life
You can thank God up above
He sent you compassion with all of his love
