That day plays over in my brain
Like a CD on repeat
The day we said goodbye last year
To our angel oh so sweet
Summer is supposed to be for fun
And not for all this pain
Perhaps it will be so again one day
For now it may as well just rain

The bluest sky feels cloudy.
The warmest days feel cold.
Feeling guilty for laughing
At a funny joke that’s told.
Surrounded by many people
Yet feeling all alone
Needing courage to go be with friends
Or even talking on the phone
A song on the radio or people dancing
Things that are everyday routine
Now choke me up and hurt my heart
It’s like someone acting mean
That’s how life is now
Pressing on but still
Living with an emptiness
That nothing will ever fill
You’re my Mom and Dad’s first grandchild
For me, my very first niece
And as long as I’m alive and beyond
My love for you won’t cease
And just because I’m writing this
On the day you went away
Know that you’re in my heart
my soul
my prayers
Every
Single
Day
