Feeling Blue

No way to know 
What we should do. 

The missing him…the empty chair 
The smiling face that just isn’t there.

Things we thought you just go through 
And someday it won’t feel so new.

We couldn’t see or plan or know 
That all our grief would start to grow.

Him leaving us, cuts oh so deep 
Him leaving Mom, so far past grief. 

She’s failing, falling, losing it all 
That’s how she feels 
While we feel small.

More helpless as each day goes past 
Things keep happening so fast.

I try to think of words to say 
Comfort, hope, strength for today.

But I will tell you what feels true 
There’s nothing, nothing I can do.

No way to make things good again 
No way to mend what just won’t mend.

No way to make things seem “okay” 
No way to make it go away. 

I don’t know how it’s done, do you? 
A message, answer, something new?

I think you don’t; you’d like to try 
But you have your own tears to cry 

I know you’re out there 
I know you care.

Thanks for listening 
Just had to share.
