At Peace With
God
With years of marriage
Full of love and sharing
Lots of ups and downs
You were always there for me
Now, no longer to be
We both had grown in age
All our children grown
Into beautiful young women now
It was a time in our lives,
We could settle down
With each of us there,
To help the other one through
Saying goodbye to you this morning
Each of us going our separate ways
Me to work, you to Police School
Telling each other bye,
Love you, See you later.
Only to find,
I would be coming home,
To be alone
All the places,
We had been together
I'll now go there alone
First there was so much
Sorrow and pain
Not knowing if I could go on
Not sure I wanted to
Then came the numbness
Not aware of what's going on
I saw hundreds of people
Some family, some friends
A lot of loved ones
All around me
But not sure of what's going on
Not really seeing them at all
Wondering why they are here
When you are gone
Not understanding,
They have come,
Out of love and respect
To say goodbye to you
One last time
Then came the knowing
You were never coming home
I was left all alone
Next came the hate
Mad at you for leaving me
Not understanding,
You had no choice
God had called you
Didn't he know,
I needed you more
Why didn't he take someone else?
Mad at God, loosing faith
For taking you from me
Next comes the shock
Then going wild
Pretending to be young again
Going to bars
Buying fast cars
Looking for someone
To take your place
Finally comes the peace
Knowing God took you
To a better place
You'll feel no pain
Never to suffer again
I've finally come to understand
He needed you more than me
It's hard to make a new life
With no one always there
To take care of me
First there was Mom,
Then there was you
Never having to do without
I only had to ask
I've tried to make a new life
Learning to do on my own
Honey it's been hard
To start over again
I'm learning to do for myself
Working my way through
Maybe not having the best
But doing the best I can
I'll keep trying to get it right
As best I can
Now that your not here,
Lending a hand
I've learned to accept life without you
But never will I understand
Why the Lord had to take you
When he knew I needed you more
I've forgiven both of you now
And I pray for forgiveness
That I couldn't understand
I thank him for the years he gave me,
Before he took away
My husband, lover
And my best friend
Keep a place beside you
For someday,
We'll be together again
I'll pray for forgiveness
Until we're together again
