Letting Go At 8 A.M. that distant morning Your life without me had begun, I searched the bed for tear stains And I cried when there were none; I saw you kiss those cryptic lips, And the entire blissful spree, I attended your wedding ceremony And I cried for it wasn’t me; And when you glowed that eager glow, Blessed soon with infant so divine, I looked upon unnoticed And I cried because it wasn’t mine; And when you reached your brightest goals, I was there to view the flight, And I cried to be your reasons, And I cried to be your light; I observed you face life’s tribulations, And I cried since I couldn’t aid you, I watched you lay beneath your grave, And I cried out to be laid, too; At 8 A.M. this morning My life without you had begun, I’ve cried for you a thousand times, And it’s only 8:01.
