Time...

Time it passes
And days go on
Yet sometimes you feel
You'll never see the dawn
It's always darkest
Before the light
Why can't anyone
See your plight
Where's the silver lining
That always seems so far
It's like you're wishing
On the farthest star
You know that star
It always seems so bright
But then you notice
It doesn't look quite right
You finally realize
It's not what you see
It's the one and only thing
You always hoped it would be
Oh Heavenly Father
Please hold me tight
Help ease my pain
If only for tonight

They...

She was born to this world
without ever taking a breath
Why did her start in life
Have to begin with her death?

My sweet little Chelsea
She weighed seven pounds or so
She looked so precious
With that healthy newborn glow

"They" say to have loved and lost
Is better than to not love at all
But who are "They" to say that
Or even make that call?

Have "They" ever lost someone
So precious and so dear
That it kills you each day
That you do not have them near?

My heart aches for you
Each and every day
I wish the pain would stop
I wish it would go away

I miss you so much, Chelsea
Each day brings a tear
I pray one day I'll make it
I'll no longer live in fear

That your death was not in vain
There was a reason you had to go
Will I learn to live with this pain?
I guess time will only know
