Staying strong


You’re gone and I’m left here 

Missing you every moment of everyday 

I see your face in my mind 

But there’s nothing I can do because you’re gone

Taken away too soon 

But I have to keep a straight face

Because your sister, my mom, needs me to stay strong 

I began to break, buckle even shake

But I need to stay strong 

I love and miss you everyday 

But I know you’re in a better place 

But that doesn’t stop the love I have for you 

It never will 

But for right now I have to stay strong 

I shed a tear in your memory 

But that doesn’t mean I’m not strong 

It’s ok for me to cry 

But that doesn’t mean the pain is over

Because you’re gone and I’m here just trying to get older 

There are no words left to say expect I love you 

And I’ll see you again one day
