Today I learned a lesson
One very hard to believe,
I learned people can actually die.
That is something I couldn't see.
Life was beautiful, life was happy
Until that door opened.
I saw my mother crying,
She was hurt and broken.
My uncle had left.
My second dad was gone.
There are no words to explain,
The pain and anger I had won.
Memories rush through my head
Tears come flooding down.
Knots in my throat, eyes are red,
And my mouth makes no sound.
If there was a way to turn back,
If there was a way to tell him I love him.
IF only IF, hugs, and conversations.
That don't exist, and soon will only dim.
But I live in a world of reality
That cannot go back in time.
Just tell me God, why?
Why, when everything was fine.
Wherever he is, please take care of him.
Only You know the pain I feel.
Help me deal with his leaving,
And help my heart soon heal.
Uncle, I will miss you.
You will always be in my heart.
You'll be in me forever,
And nothing will tear us apart.
