TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN

I really want to say I love you; I didn't say it all the time. I wish we had one more moment, to let me share what's on my mind. For more days then I could count, you were always there. I never thought of it ending so I let days pass without much care. I'd give back all those wasted days and hours just to hold your hand. I'd transit times black shadowy ocean just to be with you again.

Who I am is because of you; just because you were always there. When I took my first steps, it was because you showed me that you cared. You clothed me and kept me; you cheered me up when I was sad. You fed my inspiration; you tanned my hide when I was bad. Whenever I needed an ear, you never left me on my own. Though we were sometimes far apart, you were never really gone. Now I stand here with a somber heart, wishing I could just hold your hand. Praying for just one more sacred moment to be with you again.

Life is a shooting star; it glows bright and burns out fast. Before you even know it's gone, the blessed light of day has past. Yet, you raised me to understand, the Sun will rise after every night. After every test and trial God will make everything alright. Our years passed by so quickly; the time burned away to fast. I can't help but smile at all the memories that illuminate our past. Even though I stand here tearfully wishing I could just hold your hand. I have to praise God for your life, and rejoice that you're with him again.
