Having To Let Go

Staring outside the window
On a crisp dark December
Thinking about the good times
The times I wish you would remember

It seems like so long ago
When things use to be that way
When we would lay on the grass
Or jump into piles of hay

But here I sit in the hospital
Holding your hand so tight
Griping to the past we once had
And a future that seemed so right

Cancer is a devastating illness
With people who lose or prevail
I pray that you will win this fight
But you seem so weak and frail

Maybe one day you will be healthy
And will wake up from deaths spell
We will be able to laugh again
And we wont have to say farewell

But as soon as I hope for the future
The doctors come in and say
We are sorry but he wont live,
Today will be his last day

My gasping sobs break the silence
While silk like tears run down my eyes
The doctors tell me softy in my ear
That I should say my goodbyes

My lord has taken him away from me
And he now sits by your throne
I have given my other half to you
And now I am all alone

I hope you treat him nicely
And love him as much as I
As much as I dont want too
Its time to say goodbye
