Grams

Wisdom almost died today
My heart could find no beat
I thought my lungs would breathe no more
Life, then incomplete

Your heart has faced the test of time
Through loss and pain, so strong
For you to leave me on this day
Forever, would be wrong

I'd never learn to live a day
Without you in my life
I'd feel as though my soul were cut out,
With a blunted knife

Just one more day to say the words
Just one more day to know
Everything you've meant and given
All I'm scared to show

I've told you how I love you so
And how you were so brave
But never how you really touched
The life you helped to save

You pulled me from the bitterness
You showed me how to live
A life of laughter, full of love
That proudly we'd relive

You're my star, my shining sun
Everything in between
I fear one day won't be enough
To tell you what you mean
