SECOND ANNIVERSARY








SECOND ANNIVERSARY





It has come round once again
And I can even now feel the pain,
The pain of still missing Sweep
Time has passed yet I still weep.



Two years have passed since he died
And thousands of tears I have cried,
I know there`s more tears to cry
`Cause I`ll miss him `til the day I die.



Questions still run thru` my head
Can`t seem to put them to bed,
Nagging doubts are what I find
Eating away at my mind.



That day I just had no choice
But the words were hard to voice,
I could keep him here with me
Or from his pain set him free.



I couldn`t save him I know
But so hard to let him go,
I know my heart will always ache
For the pain`s there when I wake.



A miracle never came
And this was a crying shame,
I feel I should have done more
But for him I had no cure.



So I did the next best thing
And peace to him I did bring,
Tho` he gently slipped away
His gain was my loss that day.



Even tho` I set him free
Yet I still feel so guilty,
I feel that I took his life
This cuts my heart like a knife.



Sweep was always by my side
And so my tears I just can`t hide,
I know my heart will never heal
And pain forever I will feel.



So even tho` time will pass
A mountain of tears I will amass
You`re not forgotten my dear Sweep
You`re buried in my heart very deep.









Sweep June 1995 - 30th May 2009
