In memory of Lauren Kahler

tear  stained shoulder

pain filled eyes

we hold each other

and just cry

we let it all out

whats this all about

everyone is like sand

slipping through our hands

their faces are like ghosts

and sadness is my host

i never got to say good bye

 so im stuck with just the ability to cry

i let my pride get in the way

now she wont hear anything i say

to pieces we are falling

as God begins calling

the ones we love

to him above

why are you tearing us apart

when wil the joy start

start to appear

and wipe away every tear

when i close my eyes

i see her

she has a smile on her face

and tells me God has grace

life is like a race

we are running

running out of time

will you forgive me

and give it one more try

im sorry for everything i did to you

i have never felt so far from you

is what i should have said

now it just replays in my head

 can we take this lesson we have learned and start a new

to everyone i havent told

we may never get old

so here it goes

I LOVE YOU
