Crying, sighing, breathing, trying.
Living, giving, grieving, needing.
Wanting, longing, hoping, praying.
Wishing, risking, hurting, blurting.
These are the things
this has made me feel.
To lose your friends
hurts a great deal.
While I'm living, breathing, hurting and grieving,
I pray that God wouldn't let me feel this way.
All this pain and all this ache,
it isn't worth the souls He takes.
They should still be here
for their friends and families sake.
Our bright shining stars
have left their earthly home.
They're now up above
where they can roam.
Do you they watch from up above?
Do they send us their endless love?
I know God has His reasons
for taking them from us.
But it makes me think
"Does he really love us?"
Just one more smile
is that so much to ask Him of?
Don't question God,
don't doubt your faith.
Just pray one day
you'll know his grace.
In the end it's grace and love
that will guide us up to him above.
We'll see them there
and again unite.
There will be no more need for a long goodnight.
