The loss of one to everyone
Impacts their life to just go on
A frame of mind and pictures too
Ponders one to make it through
Mother who gave her all in all
Daughter or son to breakfast call
Home empty without them there
Home your heart of them you bare
Their laughter rings still through your ears
The many raised and thought of years
Becomes just two of things you hold
With grasp tightly you won't let go
Father who left before his time
Sister whose love you still call mine
Brother who left for war to save
A people's need, freed flag now waves
Grandparents that took your side
When wrong seemed right faults yours they'd hide
For they believed in you and saw
No harm done and broken law
There just past that cloud above
They dance and sing and speak well of
Their loved ones left behind for now
The just for now as time allows
All things good became of them
All things yours to help now mend
Life that seems empty this day
So smile your share of yesterdays
Just past that cloud one day you'll see
Those lost you thought will be happy
That you arrived without a scratch
Upon your head as eyes yours catch
