One More Time

When does the suffering And the pain go away Or does it stay Inside of us forever When does the memory Not burn in our mind Do we ever accept What has come to be Or do we mourn For a lifetime Over something We cannot change Do the tears at night Ever stop falling Or does our life Stay on hold forever I know we must move on I know we must still live But how do you get over Losing your only child Do you hate Do you pray What do you think What do you say The sun doesn't shine As bright as it use to The star's in the sky Look a little dimmer A cold winter night Seems a little colder While the hot summer day Brings back the memories Of a child at play The world still turns While my heart still yearns To hold him Just one more time 9-7-07/RJH
