august is sneaking up behind me
tapping me on the shoulder
like an elephant stampede
rob's been gone 1 year longer

my pen won't stop moving
like waves on the ocean
pounding against shore lines
my head swirls with emotions

it should be better now
it's been 2 long years
but my heart is still broken
there's still so many tears

how could this happen
losing my child
everythings gone crazy
the universe has spun wild

you just dont say goodbye
to the child in your arms
it just makes no sense
how God could allow harm

to the CORE OF MY SOUL

and then walk away
but i guess he knew
i'd have no choice
but pray

if i want to see
my baby once more
i have to leave sorrow
turn away -- close the door

and trust that some day
i'll see his sweet grin
and i'll hold my child close
in heaven again
