TEARS IN HEAVEN

This page is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Lorene Smith. I lost my Grandma to lung and breast cancer in 1985. I was very close to her growing up and it was hard for me and my family to watch her deteriorate before she died. So, this page is just my way of honoring her memory. I know that she is in a better place now and that she is watching over us.

the two angel pictures were made by angell. please use the link below to visit her site, she has many wonderful angel pictures, etc

WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE
      YOU LOVE

AS THE SUN STARTED TO SET AND
THE PEOPLE BEGAN TO DEPART
THERE WAS A SICK FEELING DEEP
IN MY HEART

HOW LONG I STAYED THERE, I
DIDN'T KNOW
ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS
HAVING TO LET YOU GO

IT DIDN'T SEEM FAIR, AS THE
ANGELS GREW NEAR
AS THEY TOOK HIM AWAY, I SHED
A TEAR

I FELT WEAK AS THEY LOWERED
THE CASKET
MY HEART BEAT QUICKLY, IT WAS
SO RAPID

I WANTED TO SCREAM, I WANTED
TO CRY
TO BE WITH HIM, I WOULD GLADLY
DIE

BUT I STRAIGHTENED MYSELF
AND WALKED AWAY
I KNEW IT WOULD HURT ME, NOT
HELP ME IF I DECIDED TO STAY

AS I ARRIVED HOME, I LOOKED
AROUND
I TRIED SO HARD NOT TO BREAK
DOWN

I COULDN'T HELP IT, I FELT SO
BAD
AS I RECALLED MEMORIES, IT
MADE ME SAD

SOMEDAY I KNEW I'D BE OKAY
BUT I HAD TO SURVIVE UNTIL
THAT DAY
