Echoes

This honour brings me
Deepest sorrow
I have poured over thoughts of your memory
I hope to find the words
To bring some justice
They echo out in this place of rest
If you could see us now

Life brought change but you were a constant
I thank you for being there
I can't believe you're not

The love brings small comfort
For you were cherished

Hold those close to you so dear
And know I wish that you were here

My bones still stand
My eyes still see
My blood fills and
My lungs still breath

My mind still cries
Thoughts still scream
Dreams still die
My pain still means
