Letting Go

The sunlight on your face
Can't brighten our
Breaking hearts
And the clouds rolling in
Bring a storm
That can't compare
To the one you have fought
Let the rain fall down
And wash away our tears
That we must say goodbye
And let Him take you Home
Where you will shine
With the sun
And brighten our homes
With your eternal presence

Insignificance

We awaken on this day
Blessed to see daylight
No matter what the weather
Dare you act with it in sight
You embrace the memory
Of today's anniversary
Wishing the clock stalled time
Keeping thoughts that you will carry
At the end of the last hour
Long shadows cast in the night
Swallowing the day's intentions
Diminished that they might
Mean less to the one you love
Transforming today's intent
To one you'd rather forget
With yesterday it is buried and sent
With your tears that fall silently
Harboring another lost day
Holding your fragile heart
And keeping from running away
