As I look back on my life
The ups and downs and all the strife
Of Joys and sorrows I have had
It makes you happy and even sad
Many things have come and went
Things I cherish and money spent
But of all the joys of days long past
Are forever in my heart where they will last
For this is what I must hold
To keep my heart from growing cold
A tragic event did come my way
I was not prepared for that tragic day
I did not conceive in my mind
What would happen and what I would find
Now it's happened and this is real
I must survive but I don't know what to feel
My heart is shattered my emotions are drained
Sometimes I feel like I am going insane
Questions without answers where do you start
How do you mend my broken heart
These are things I will never know
Just why he died and had to go
All I can ask is God above
To receive my Son with all his love
Now he is free and without any pain
I just wish I could feel the same
