Living, loving, and learning
My One True Rock
My one true rock
A shoulder on which I could rely
For whenever I was angry
Or needed a good cry
You were the strongest man I had ever knew
But as I watched you lay in that hospital bed
I knew what I had to do
There was no chance
That's what they all had to say
No matter what we could do
We could not make you stay
Barely responsive fighting to speak
Unable to feel anything but pain
Everything they could do
Would have been in vain
Stop the test I ordered
Just let him be
As hard as it was for me
I had to set you free
The next day
Slowly drifted by
All I could was hold your hand
And try not to cry
For here was this man
The strongest man I ever knew
And I couldn't figure out
How I'd survive this crazy world without you
As you took your final breathes
Tears formed in my eyes
As hard as it was for me
I had to say goodbye
God said it was your time
Now there's a smile on your face
Laughing and pain free
The way you deserve to be
Until we meet again
I'll miss you more and more each day
No matter what I do
This world is just a far lonelier place without you
A shoulder on which I could rely
For whenever I was angry
Or needed a good cry
You were the strongest man I had ever knew
But as I watched you lay in that hospital bed
I knew what I had to do
There was no chance
That's what they all had to say
No matter what we could do
We could not make you stay
Barely responsive fighting to speak
Unable to feel anything but pain
Everything they could do
Would have been in vain
Stop the test I ordered
Just let him be
As hard as it was for me
I had to set you free
The next day
Slowly drifted by
All I could was hold your hand
And try not to cry
For here was this man
The strongest man I ever knew
And I couldn't figure out
How I'd survive this crazy world without you
As you took your final breathes
Tears formed in my eyes
As hard as it was for me
I had to say goodbye
God said it was your time
Now there's a smile on your face
Laughing and pain free
The way you deserve to be
Until we meet again
I'll miss you more and more each day
No matter what I do
This world is just a far lonelier place without you
