Everything Happens For A Reason


Dark night, yellow body

Morning comes, the body gone. 

An empty driveway brings emotion and regret.

Everything Happens For A Reason.

2 bouncin' baby boys, beginning of May

one bad lung, one bad heart.

5 months later fear becomes reality,

the heart has stopped, and is surrounded by love.

Everything Happens For A Reason.

May has again arrived, but now brings death.

The poison won and brought on the blood

Sadness in his children's eyes.

Everything Happens For A Reason.

Dark night sky, flames ablaze

A house so long loved, has now been lost.

Tears and Sorrow-some quiet joy,

Peace at last from drama and cries.

Everything Happens For A Reason.

Death in July, found out in October

In just one week, moved in November.

Now a new town, new faces, long drive,

We begin to think, will we survive?

Everything Happens For A Reason.
