Remembering

What is this thing called remembering
Why does it bring me so much pain,
All I want to do is see the dear one
But remembering makes tears fall like rain.

When will this thing called remembering
Let this constant hurting go away,
Will there ever be a time I can laugh again
The way I used to do every single day.

Why can't this thing called remembering
Bring me laughter and cheer and joy,
Why does it make me hurt so bad
Each time I think of my sweet boy.

Will I ever again love remembering
Can I look forward to days that are glad,
Does this hurt ever ease when I recall
Those days when I was not so sad.

Please God, show me how remembering
Was truly meant to be,
Help me understand through my grief
That remembering is the best thing for me.
