The Day I Lost My Way
My pathway of life just ended
I tried going on without her I keep wandering around in the darkness I’ll keep on trying if it kills me
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The day after Easter Day
The year was two thousand and one
The day my wife suddenly passed away.
But somehow I can’t find the way
She was my navigator
Without her I keep going astray.
Bumping into things till I’m sore
I don’t know why, I just want to cry
I’ve never been this lonely before.
If it does I’ll be by her side
If not I’ll just keep on wandering
Till someone offers to be my guide.

A Letter To Our Son
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dear Son, (In Heaven)
Your mom misses your flowers
You always gave her on Mothers Day
Also her birthdays and Christmas
So now she is on her way.
She will join you real soon I’m certain
She left here just yesterday
She may just come for a visit
But I think she intends to stay.
I know I don’t have to worry
But it seems there’s something I have to do
I’m sure God must be awful busy
But I know he will take care of you two.
So Son, take care of your mother
She has had a rough time here on earth
Her hips have been bad and she has been sad
Ever since the day of her birth.
