You inspired me to write this down
a poem at heart with the frowns around
many are sitting dressed down in black
quietly praying the last of the pack
I walk in with a simply expression
doubting I'll cry
or have one tear for this session
everyone's seated
eyes completely drenched
small talk bouncing off the walls
as i sit down in the bench
gave your mother a hi
hugged your dad for hope
gave your sister a reassuring glance
i wasn't sure what i suppose to know
i met this man once
as i walked up to the casket
remembered his smile
his eyes were placid
completely closed
not a single move he made
now he lays restless
peaceful he seem today
today he was to be buried
a man of such great wisdom
the sons got up to talk
and rekindle there fathers heart within them
your mother cried louder
as the words began to mean more
the memories started flowing
and the realization he's gone for sure
but i was strong until that point
that point i looked at your mother
so broken up inside
my tears began flowing farther
i held my breath
to try and push emotion away
but nothing could get my eyes to stop tearing up
nothing anyone could say
everything was so beautiful
so many hearts filled his grace
so many people looked up to him
in a hero sort of way
he must of been amazing
that's all i could image from people's memories
he worked hard all his life
and now in heaven he rest at ease
but as we paid our last respects
the moment that blew my heart to depths
your mother ran up to your fathers body
draped her self over and prayed loudly
tears like a river filling her face
arms stretched out in a daughter father way
hoping he'd jump up
and trying to reach out to him
but he didn't move
he laid peaceful within
I'm sure he's looking over that
and wishing he could hold her close
it just blew me away
how sad she was
i hope someone loves me that much
that's an amazing love i say
thank you for that experience
it will never leave my heart
that funeral those words
your mothers tears i con-cure
it was the most beautiful love I've ever seen
god could only grant me such a wonderful display
a love that i could only hope to see.
