august is sneaking up behind me
tapping me on the shoulder
like an elephant stampede
rob's been gone one year longer
my pen won't stop moving
like waves on the ocean
pounding against shore lines
my head swirls with emotions
it should be better now
it's been two long years
but my heart is still broken
there's still so many tears
how could this happen
losing my child
everythings gone crazy
the universe has spun wild
you just don't say goodbye
to the child in your arms
it just makes no sense
why God would allow harm
to the CORE OF MY SOUL
and then back away
but i guess he knew
i'd have no choice
but pray
if i want to see
my baby once more
i have to leave sorrow
turn away -- close the door
and trust that some day
i'll see his sweet grin
and i'll hold my child close
in heaven again
