Words for the Journey

There are days that i will always remember,

I will never forget the 1st of September,For that day i felt so sad and alone,You decided it was time to take him home.Even now it's still hard to believe,I don't understand why you took him from me,I don't understand why you took him so young,Why you decided his short life was done.Each night by his bed i would silently pray,That a miracle you might send our way,A miracle i know only you could give,I prayed so hard "Lord, please let him live"I prayed you would help him, i prayed you would heal,After all of  these years it still doesn't seem real,After all of these years i still feel the pain,When my memory takes me back there again.I pray he's in Heaven, i pray he's with you,It's the thought of this that pulls me through,You blessed us with marriage before the end,I know this was a gift only you could send.I tried to be strong and hold it inside,As that night my husband closed his eyes,I knew it was close, that it wouldn't be long,Til his fight was over and his pain was gone.I held his hand as i watched him breathe,Tears ran down my face, i couldn't believe,We'd been married just hours, it was hard to believe,That you wanted to take this man from me.It was hard to accept, what could i say,His life wasn't meant to end this way,His life wasn't meant to be this short,I had a broken heart that the world forgot.Most of the time i don't ask why,Why you had to make us say goodbye,I don't understand and i will not until,You take me home too....so one day i will
