A Day of Tears

On this day I remember you
What my life could have been
What my life should have been

You were supposed to be my rock
Teaching me of life
Allowing me to make you proud

Lost before I knew you
A replacement poor in comparison
What could I do but suffer

Though I may not see you
I know you are near
In my heart a place is reserved

Gone you may be
Doing as I think you would wish
Walking in your shadow

Today I miss you
Today I remember you
