I’ll never forget the agony
I felt the day you died
I wish I could have swum to you
down the river of tears I’ve cried
But with each passing day
I’m learning to get by
I know you’d want me happy
so each passing day I try
As the holidays roll up
instead of being sad
I choose to remember on that date
holiday memories that we had
I always celebrate your birthday
‘though you’re no longer here
by recalling all the pleasant times
we had throughout the years
I like to stare at pictures
of you and your shiny smile
I wish I could come visit you
I would run every mile
Yes… I still miss you a lot
I’m learning to get by
‘though I still have my bad days
God knows how much I try
