To Live Again

Tho it is a most impossible task
Deep in my soul I know I must try,
It makes me so sad to just think of it
That I know I am bound to cry.

If only you were here to help me though
I know in this life I could be strong;
But without your tender and loving smile
To live again will take too long.

Those I meet in this everyday life
Fail to ever understand;
When you lose your child a piece of you dies
It is more than a mortal soul can withstand.

For the sake of those you left behind
I know that somehow I must try;
To live again if only by imitation
While on the inside all I want to do is cry.

Please oh please dear angel son
Help me to learn this one task;
To live again for those who are still here
I know it is a lot to ask.

By the grace of God I will make it somehow
Until my time on this earth is complete;
I will live again to show my love
Each time a loved one I meet.
